Fairies, magic and mischief \u2013 step into Shakespeare’s world with the Thomas Haney Sightline Theatre’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to experience a timeless classic that will captivate your imagination and entertain you like never before,” said Grade 12 student Sadie Setynski, who plays Egeus and Peaseblossom.<\/p>\n

Set in a mystical forest, A Midsummer Night’s Dream <\/em>tells the story of four lovers who get caught up in a romantic mix-up caused by a magical love potion. At the same time, a group of amateur actors rehearsing a play falls victim to mischievous fairy trickery. As chaos unfolds, love, laughter, and magic weave together in this Shakespearean comedy.<\/p>\n

“Our production showcases the talent of the cast and crew of all grades,” said Setynski, who is also the show’s marketing lead. “High school theatre is a great way to support the arts in your community. It brings people together, so it’s not just about the play itself but also about the shared experience with friends and fellow theatre lovers.”<\/p>\n

The show, running February 26 to March 7, is put on by students in grades 8 to 12 who are enrolled in Thomas Haney Secondary’s theatre company class. During the year, they learn and build on professional industry skills, such as acting, stage management, set design and construction, lighting, sound, costuming and marketing.<\/p>\n
