Midsummer City by Roberta Harold. A contemporary, urban take on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this play is specifically adapted to engage middle school students. It features love-crazed space aliens, star-crossed teenagers, loggers moonlighting as Catskills lounge lizards, a romance between a judge and a hip-hop queen and the heroine, Mia Estevez, facing the dreaded prospect of a Quinceañera in combat boots. If it sounds absolutely crazy and fun, it is!

Cabot will select a school from the first 50 registrations to showcase the World Premier of the play and provide production and advertising support.
