There’s unrest in fairyland as Titania and Oberon’s fighting has escalated to the point of disaster for all other fairies. A band of actors are trying to put on a play but find trouble at every turn. And unbeknownst to everyone, merry Puck is weaving a web of naughtiness all for his own entertainment. Can the actors get their play together for the fairies? Will there be peace in fairyland or will Puck get his way all on this Midsummer’s Day? Based on William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream this modern retelling with modern text is one not to be missed -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre

The Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater will be holding auditions for for *Mr. A’s Amazing Maze Plays *by Alan Ayckbourn on *Wednesday, August 8* and *Thursday, August 9* from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM. Invited callbacks, if necessary, will occur on Sunday, August 12. The play relies heavily on audience interaction to help the actors navigate a huge, 24-room mansion.

This play will be our second Theater for Young Audiences (TYA) production of the year, aimed at providing opportunities for children and their families to experience high-quality theater while learning and practicing good audience etiquette. Performances will be held October 6 – 14; two performances (afternoon and evening) on each Saturday and one afternoon performance each Sunday. Broadview Heights Spotlights’ Theater for Young Audiences Series is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
