Lord, what fools these mortals be!
The music is loud, the beat is strong and there's magic in the air... After the success of 2024's summer production 'We Are Such Things' stage@leeds Young Company return with an irreverent new interpretation of William Shakespeare's classic tale of love and magic 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. We are looking for enthusiastic young people to join the company. You don't need to have any acting or performing experience but if you do, then that's great. We'd also like to know if you play an instrument, if you’re a dancer, or you have circus or gymnastic skills.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be performed at stage@leeds on the evening of Saturday 09 August. If you would like to be part of this exciting project, please fill in the application form below and join us at stage@leeds on Sat 17 May at 12.30pm for an informal meeting and full description of the project.
