After a wonderful inaugural production last fall, Shakespeare Under the Stars is bringing Mr. Shakespeare back to the St. Marys Golf Course this coming September. Tim Akers will direct the ever-popular A Midsummer Night's Dream, which will be produced by Ben Moats and designed and staged by Eric Stevenson. The trio brought down the house last year and aim to expand this year.
Auditions for Dream are at 6:00 PM, Friday, July 15 in the St. Mary's College auditorium, St. Marys. The director asks that actors bring a monologue or be prepared to read random soliloquies from the Bard's works. Email: shakespeareunderthestars@gmail.com for more information or directions.

Taming of the Shrew a hit!
A new production company brought Shakespeare's vocabulary and comedy to the Flint Hills last September with a performance of The Taming of The Shrew, presented by the Flint Hills Shakespeare Festival. The FHSF is a community-base initiative focused on providing fine outdoor theatre and music experiences to Kansans in the Flint Hills and beyond. At the beautiful, natural amphitheatre of the St. Marys Golf Course's 4th hole and under a full moon, over 900 patrons enjoyed the Bard's classic comedy about a woman who won't be tamed and the man who proves otherwise - with both learning gentleness and selflessness in the process. The weekend was a great success: the bar has been set high for this annual festival!
Produced by Ben Moats, directed by Tim Akers and with sets by Eric Stevenson, the cast was made up of local performers, with others from Topeka, Wamego, and surrounding communities. Many of the cast have appeared on St. Marys area stages, including the Topeka Performing Arts Center and the historic Columbian Theatre in Wamego.
Check out photos from the performance!
