dominion stage announces Auditions for
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

Director: DANNI GUY
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: MARY BETH SMITH-TOOMEY
Dominion Stage is thrilled to announce auditions for an unforgettable re-imagining of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream,
directed by Danni Guy.
Forget everything you think you know about this classic comedy.
This production transforms Shakespeare's enchanted forest into the eerie hills of Appalachia, blending folklore, superstition, and folk horror into a haunting, theatrical experience. Expect ancient rituals, unsettling magic, and a world where the woods are alive - and always watching.
This is not your usual production.
