This production will transform the natural environment of our outdoor theater into an urban wonderland through gesture, dance and music. The audience will be guided on a tour from the Gated Community of Athens, where the rich, privileged lovers lead their sheltered lives, all the way to Forest, a broken down city with a punk rock energy and leather-clad fairies. The repression of the rich will be overthrown, the fairies will fight relentlessly for anarchy, and the touring performance artist collective The Mechanicals will dazzle with their conceptual, experimental production of "Pyramus and Thisbe". Come and be a part of this unique journey that the audience won't soon forget!
Tickets are also available for sale at Broadside Books in Northampton and at Amherst Books in Amherst.
Weather Considerations: We make every possible effort to stay outdoors, including performing in light rain, but we will move to our on-site indoor location in the event of prohibitively inclement weather. If this happens, we will issue a rain voucher to all audience members that will allow them to attend any one outdoor performance in the season free of charge.
