Reminder: BHS's Drama Club's Performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Opens Tonight

The drama club will present Shakespeare's classical comedy tonight and this weekend.

The following is a guest article by Vanessa Ovian on behalf of the BHS Drama Club:

The Burlington High School Drama Club is pleased to announce that it will perform William Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Friday, Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2:00 and 7:30 p.m., in the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center of Burlington High School.

A Midsummer Night's Dream features young lovers who fall comically in and out of love in a ridiculously brief period of time (a single, “enchanted” midsummer night)! Written in the late 16th century, it remains one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage.  A modern interpretation of the original, the BHS production will maintain all written word but will leap centuries to the present day, reflected in updated music, costumes and actions.
