It’s 1934, and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialized on the Warner Bros. Hollywood set of Max Reinhardt’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. With a little help from a feisty flower, blonde bombshells, movie moguls, and arrogant “asses” are tossed into loopy love triangles, with raucous results. The mischievous magic of moviedom sparkles in this hilarious comic romp. Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare in Hollywood had its world premier in 2003 at Arena Stage and won the Helen Hayes award for Best New Play of the Year. By Ken Ludwig, author of "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Moon Over Buffalo."
Featuring a stellar cast of CET friends and family, including: Marty Higginbotham, Ashley Bishop, Jonathan Fuller, Tom Wofford, Leah Luker, Saxon Murrell, Jessica Clark, David Perry, Mavis Scully, Todd Ponder, Brad Riegel, David Perry, and Patrick Ian McCall.
