A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Molly Burhans

Every year, Homer’s Shakespearean Society puts on several plays. This past weekend was the debut of one of those plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This classic was portrayed wonderfully with a 1960’s twist. Many people were in attendance and it was a great time for all. Refreshments, made by the cast and their families, were even provided for those who came. Overall, the show was excellent; however, during Saturday night’s performance one of the main characters, who was played by Tessa Brown, took the phrase “break a leg” a little too seriously. During a scene where she was scripted to be pushed to the ground, she accidently fell on her foot the wrong way which resulted in a serious injury to her foot. Thankfully, Tessa Brown knew that the show must go on and stuck through most of the show either being carried or sitting in a rolling chair until Act III. The Shakespearean Society put on an incredible show, and be sure to watch for when their next play comes out!
