Congratulations to the cast and crew of Herricks Theater’s fall production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which captivated audiences on November 14 and 15 in the Herricks High School auditorium. Students brought Shakespeare’s beloved comedy to life with lively performances, imaginative staging and a strong sense of teamwork, resulting in two evenings of truly memorable theater.
The story follows four starry-eyed young lovers who flee a wedding, a group of well-meaning but amateur actors rehearsing a play and the faerie king and queen locked in a magical dispute. At the center of the chaos is a mischievous hobgoblin whose enchanted flower sparks romantic confusion and comedic twists throughout the forest.
The production was directed by Mr. Rob Gioia, whose vision and guidance helped students deliver a performance that was both polished and joyfully spirited. Families, staff and community members filled the auditorium across both evenings to support the performers and celebrate this classic tale.
The full program for the production can be found here.
