"Midsummer Madness," a modern reimagining of a Midsummer Night’s Dream @ Explorations Academy

Fairies, Nietzsche tangents, and struggling artists all collide on the stage at Explorations Academy (1701 Ellis St.) as part of this original take on a Shakespearan classic tale.

“Midsummer Madness”, a modern reimagining of a Midsummer Night’s Dream, is being performed by the Unsubdued Theatre Collective July 18th-20th, and 25th-27th at 7:30PM.

“Our show is like Shakespeare on crack,” said co-director Danielle Phillips, “It’s a fresh look with plenty of heart.” Phillips, a mainstay of the Bellingham theater scene not only directs but wrote the adaptation, infusing it with their own unique brand of humor and pathos.

“It’s an original show! Our audience will be the very first to see this story come to life, and it’s so incredibly important that we support unconventional theater,” said Taylor Rae-Anne who plays the starring role Iris.

The Unsubdued Theatre Collective is a theatre group formed in 2022 with the goal of creating original theatre with an explicit focus on inclusivity. Tickets for “Midsummer Madness” are available online at www.unsubduedtheatre.org.
