If you missed our production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Barrington Hall, this weekend offers two more opportunities. And best of all, we’re performing indoors. Come rain, come shine, come anything, we’ll be in Lawrenceville on Saturday and Sunday for a pair of encore Midsummer performances at Aurora Theatre. As one of eight companies participating in the first annual Gwinnett County Community Theatre Festival, North Fulton Drama Club is pleased to resurrect our fifth production … even if it is only for a single weekend.

Where will we be? The Aurora Theatre is in downtown Lawrenceville. There are two theatre spaces and we’re in the larger of the pair, the Strickland Family Stage.

So here’s what you do. Head over to the Aurora Theatre website and visit their virtual box office* (or just give them a call). Per-show tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students. You have your choice of Saturday night at 8pm or Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm. We’d love to have a packed house for both shows, so tell your friends and neighbors.

In other news, we’re still collecting cast recordings for the two remaining cast podcasts for Midsummer. Also, as a little something extra, we’ll be posting the full-length audio from Midsummer’s outrageous show-within-the-show, A Tedious Brief Scene Of Young Pyramus And His Love Thisby. Think of it as our own brand of you-are-there radio theatre. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ll be holding auditions for our next show, Romeo & Juliet, in just under a month!
