As the lights dimmed, an- ticipation mounted in the cast and crew of the fall play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream. They had per- formed the show for what seemed like a million times, but not like this. Tonight they had an audience. The play told of lovers, fairies, and would-be actors. It led off with two young lov- ers, Hermia (Nancy Albin) and Lysander (Andy Kirk- man), and their plans to elope. Hermia had been prom- ised to Demetrius before though. She did not love him, but Helena (Brooke Overpeck) did. Upon learning of the lov- ers’ plan, Demetrius went looking for them with Helena in close pursuit. Oberon (Chris Benskin), King of the Fairies, over heard Helena’s plea and sent Puck (Brian Taylor) to make Demetrius love her.

According to Nancy Albin, “This year's play was a big challenge because of the Shakespearean dialogue.
