to be Presented on February 16-18 The Department of Theatre and Dance at Eastern New Mexico University will present William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream at 8 p.m. on Feb. 16-18 on the University Theatre Center Mainstage. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a romantic comedy written by Shakespeare sometime in the mid-1590s. It depicts the adventures of four young lovers and a group of amateur actors in a moonlit forest, and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit it. The play revolves around two pairs of lovers who move to the forest because Athenian law does not allow them to marry. ENMU's version, featuring both theatre and non-theatre majors, takes place in the Edwardian era. "It will be a very lively, very physical comedy," says director Felipe Macias, professor of theatre. "We are working hard to make Shakespeare accessible and not stuffy for today's audience." In an intriguing casting decision, ENMU head football coach Mark Ribaudo will play Egeus, the domineering father of a young lover. Admission is $7 General Admission, $6 Senior Citizens, $5 Pre-College,
and $4 ENMU Students. For ticket information, call 505.562.2711. The play
