The 2015 Fall Faculty Production features a cast of students and faculty and is directed by Associate Professor of Theatre Siouxsie Easter.

Aurora, New York— The Wells College Theatre and Dance Department is proud to present the Fall Faculty Production "A Midsummer Night's Dream," written by William Shakespeare and directed by Associate Professor of Theatre Siouxsie Easter. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will be performed in Phipps Auditorium of Macmillan Hall on the Wells College campus on Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24. The house will open at 7:00 p.m. and the show will begin at 7:30.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is Shakespeare's most beloved comedy. Director Siouxsie Easter says, "Audiences of all ages will enjoy this fast-paced run that takes us from Shakespeare's time to a modern-day 'forest.' There are many moments of laugh-out-loud comedy that make for a great evening."

The intricate set is designed by Wells College's new Technical Director Patti Goebel, with lighting design by Ithaca College senior Erik Herskowitz and costumes by Barbara Murphy. The show is stage managed by student Zjana Ray '18. The cast features twenty student actors from all disciplines and classes and one faculty member, and the stage crew is made up of both students experienced in technical theatre and those new to the field.
