A Midsummer Night’s Dream

The trials of love are not limited by age, language, distance, or time. Yet the power of love that overcomes all obstacles, pains, and sorrows is the mysterious magic that we pursue in our hearts tonight. We seek to find, define and bring to life the victorious, ridiculous and fabulous spirit of love for to see and feel. By conjuring your hearts with French, English, Spanish and a wee bit of Cree, with music from the 60s and words of the 1600s we hope to create an evening that celebrates the bliss of Cupid’s strong bow and the never ending task that the creation of love necessitates.

by William Shakespeare

(This show was a remount of last year’s production)

L’Amour médecin

Sganarelle’s daughter, Lucinde, in the throws of melancholy, suffers from a condition that no one can diagnose, much less cure. When some of the most serious doctors fail to agree on which remedy to administer, a young man, aided by Lisette, Lucinde’s servant, pretends to be a doctor and succeeds in curing her. He is none other than Cilandre, a suitor whom Lucinde’s father had already rejected. He convinces Sganarelle that his daughter is crazy and that only a mock wedding to him can save her. The father consents, a contract is immediately produced, and the marriage goes through, to Sganarelle’s great dismay!

by Molière

Both toured together July 12 – August 20, 2005
