Synetic Theather -- new season begins in September

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?

And the Kickstarter has just hit the goal with nine days left to go. Not bad.
