ATTENDANCE:
With the fast moving nature of this class, we need to enforce a somewhat stricter attendance policy than other classes. Not everyone will be called to every rehearsal, however if a student misses a rehearsal that they are called to more than once their position in the cast will be in jeopardy. Emergencies do happen, we need to specify that is not what we are referring to. We simply need to ensure that attendance becomes a priority so that the quality of the show does not suffer due to students being habitually absent.

COST:
Cost: $180 per student
*Additional siblings may attend for $90 per sibling.
A PayPal invoice will be sent to you the same day of the Cast List Announcement, not before.

As to the age restriction of this class, we are offering Lion King Kids this semester for the 8-12 year old age group!

AVAILABLE ROLES:

PUCK: Also known as Robin Goodfellow, Puck is Oberon’s jester, a mischievous fairy who delights in playing pranks on mortals. His enchanting, mischievous spirit pervades the atmosphere, and his antics are responsible for many of the complications that propel the other main plots: he mistakes the young Athenians, applying the love potion to Lysander instead of Demetrius, thereby causing chaos within the group of young lovers; he also transforms Bottom’s head into that of a donkey.

OBERON: The king of the fairies, Oberon is initially at odds with his wife, Titania. Oberon’s desire for revenge on Titania leads him to send Puck to obtain the love-potion flower that creates so much of the play’s confusion and farce.

TITANIA: The queen of the fairies, Titania resists the attempts of her husband, Oberon, to make a knight of the young Indian prince that she has been given. Titania has a brief, potion-induced love for Nick Bottom, whose head Puck has transformed into that of a donkey.

LYSANDER: A young man of Athens, in love with Hermia. Lysander’s cannot marry her openly because Egeus, her father, wishes her to wed Demetrius; when Lysander and Hermia run away into the forest, Lysander becomes the victim of misapplied magic and wakes up in love with Helena.

HERMIA: A young woman of Athens. Hermia is in love with Lysander and is a childhood friend of Helena. As a result of the fairies’ mischief with Oberon’s love potion, both Lysander and Demetrius suddenly fall in love with Helena. Self-conscious about her short stature, Hermia suspects that Helena has wooed the men with her height. By morning, however, Puck has sorted matters out with the love potion, and Lysander’s love for Hermia is restored.

DEMETRIUS: A young man of Athens, initially in love with Hermia and ultimately in love with Helena.

HELENA: A young woman of Athens, in love with Demetrius. Lacking confidence in her looks, Helena thinks that Demetrius and Lysander are mocking her when the fairies’ mischief causes them to fall in love with her.

THESEUS: The heroic duke of Athens, engaged to Hippolyta. Theseus represents power and order throughout the play. He appears only at the beginning and end of the story, removed from the dreamlike events of the forest.

NICK BOTTOM: Bottom is full of advice and self-confidence but frequently makes silly mistakes and misuses language. His simultaneous nonchalance about the beautiful Titania’s sudden love for him and unawareness of the fact that Puck has transformed his head into that of a donkey mark the pinnacle of his foolish arrogance.

EGEUS: Hermia’s father, who brings a complaint against his daughter to Theseus: Egeus has given Demetrius permission to marry Hermia, but Hermia, in love with Lysander, refuses to marry Demetrius. Egeus’s severe insistence that Hermia either respect his wishes or be held accountable to Athenian law places him squarely outside the whimsical dream realm of the forest.

HIPPOLYTA: The legendary queen of the Amazons, engaged to Theseus. Like Theseus, she symbolizes order.

PETER QUINCE: A carpenter and the nominal leader of the craftsmen’s attempt to put on a play for Theseus’s marriage celebration. Quince is often shoved aside by the abundantly confident Bottom. During the craftsmen’s play, Quince plays the Prologue.

FRANCIS FLUTE: The bellows-mender chosen to play Thisbe in the craftsmen’s play for Theseus’s marriage celebration. Forced to play a young girl in love, the bearded craftsman determines to speak his lines in a high, squeaky voice.

ROBIN STARVELING: The tailor chosen to play Thisbe’s mother in the craftsmen’s play for Theseus’s marriage celebration. He ends up playing the part of Moonshine.

TOM SNOUT: The tinker chosen to play Pyramus’s father in the craftsmen’s play for Theseus’s marriage celebration. He ends up playing the part of Wall, dividing the two lovers.

SNUG: The joiner chosen to play the lion in the craftsmen’s play for Theseus’s marriage celebration. Snug worries that his roaring will frighten the ladies in the audience.

PHILOSTRATE: Theseus’s Master of the Revels, responsible for organizing the entertainment for the duke’s marriage celebration.

PEASEBLOSSOM, COBWEB, MOTE, and MUSTARDSEED: The fairies ordered by Titania to attend to Bottom after she falls in love with him.
