present a Benefit Performance
The Hunts Point Children's Shakespeare Ensemble in
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
At New York Live Arts, 219 W. 19th St.
Falling in love can make fools of us all! Take a magical journey to the woods outside of Athens in this lively and heart-warming production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, featuring the talented and hard-working young members of the Hunts Point Children's Shakespeare Ensemble. Now in its ninth year, the Ensemble is an extraordinary collaboration between The Shakespeare Society and the Hunts Point Alliance for Children in the South Bronx. Through a combination of close reading, acting, and rehearsal techniques, the Ensemble's participants - forty 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from schools in Hunts Point - are completely immersed in a Shakespeare play. They develop their capacity for teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking, while testing their capacity for commitment and rigor; and each May, they put on an unforgettable show for their families, friends, and you!
