PrideArts presents a reading of Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In this comic fantasy, four lovers find true love with the help of several bewitching fairies over a warm summer night. Peter Vamvakas, who directed previous company readings of Shakespearean plays, will direct this classic as a gender bending romp through ancient Greece. In Vamvakas’s staging, several of the roles will be played by actors of the opposite gender, even if the characters themselves remain unchanged.
PrideArts tells queer stories on a variety of platforms, including both live and virtual performances. Since its founding in 2010, PrideArts has had several chapters, including operating as an itinerant theater for their first six seasons, and as the developer and primary tenant in the Pride Arts Center from 2016-21.
