The Scarborough Art and Lecture Series presents the Rude Mechanicals Medieval and Renaissance Players

Join Department of English and Modern Languages chair Betty Ellzey and the Shepherd University Rude Mechanicals Medieval and Renaissance Players as they offer a glimpse into their fall 2019 production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Is it a lighthearted day dream or an anxiety-ridden nightmare—or both? Come to the kick-off event for this season’s Scarborough Art and Lecture Series and decide for yourself! Between special glimpses of the upcoming production, Dr. Ellzey will discuss how her creative style as a director is informed by her interest in Shakespearean theater. A dessert reception will follow the presentation. This event is free and open to the public.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream will run November 1-10, 2019 at Reynolds Hall on the campus of Shepherd University. Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. on November 1, 2, 8, and 9; at 3 p.m. on November 3 and 10; and at 8:30 p.m. on November 7. Performances are FREE for Shepherd University students, faculty, and staff. Tickets are $2 for all other students and $10 for the general public. Tickets may be purchased at the door.
