Yesterday, [personal profile] greenygal and I went to see Synetic Theater's A Midsummer's Night Dream. I had seen this show before, in a previous production. This year they had the same Oberon, Puck, and Bottom, but the rest of the cast had changed. It was still a lot of fun, and Bottom's transformation was still amazing; the actor ripped off his clothes to reveal a set of donkeyskin breeches instead of donning a donkey mask -- basically, Bottom turns into Bachus, complete with crown of leaves.

It turns out that Synetic is having a kickstarter to fund renovations to their new studio space -- they lost their old one, and are trying t to raise money to bring the new space up to code. I'm contributing, and I'm seriously considering buying a subscription because I do love their productions.

This coming season the shows are:

  • The Picture of Dorian Gray, Sept. 26, 2013 – Nov. 3, 2013

  • Twelfth Night, Jan. 9, 2014 – Feb 16, 2014

  • Hamlet … the rest is silence, March 13, 2014 – April 6, 2014

  • Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), May 8, 2014 – June 8, 2014


I've seen a production of their Hamlet interpretation, but I think the others are all new. I definitely want to see their Twelfth Night.

Who else is interested in seeing one of these shows?
