CASA’s Children’s Theatre presents four performances of its annual spring production on March 15, 16 and 17.
This year the play is a young people’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Although adapted for children, the script retains much of the flavor of the original work and indeed, many of the passages are taken word-for-word from Shakespeare’s original script. “Midsummer” is a classic tale full of magic, intrigue, romance and laughter.
It involves three plots that intertwine and sometimes interrupt each other, but the play does end “happily ever after.” Julie Krieckhaus, director, will be assisted by Jennifer Birk as stage manager and Angelina Gualdoni as assistant. Included in this year’s cast are Marsha Adler of St. Louis and Rob Traupmann of University City, students in CASA’s adult acting class. Other cast members range in age from 7 to 17. Performance times are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 15, 3:00 and 7:30 on Saturday, March 16, and 3:00 on Sunday, March 17. Admission is $3.00 for adults.
There is no charge for age 16 and under. CASA receives partial support from the Regional Arts Commission, the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and is a funded member of the Arts and Education Council of Greater St. Louis.
