The City of Fairfax Theatre Company Presents
William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream Directed by Adam Ressa August 6-16, 2020 Veterans Amphitheater 10455 Armstrong Street, Fairfax,VA 22030 Deep in an enchanted forest, four young lovers brawl over each other's affections, a troop of actors prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime, while mischievous sprites play tricks on them all. Magic, madness, mayhem, and of course, love intertwine as William Shakespeare’s raucous comedy comes to life in our first "Shakespeare in the City of Fairfax" at Veterans Amphitheater, August 2020. |
April 2020 Update: CFTC has made the decision to cancel our summer production of "Peter Pan." This decision reflects our commitment to the safety and the health and well-being of everyone in the Fairfax community as Virginia's stay at home orders continue until halfway through our usual rehearsal process. We are also waiting for news on summer programs across our region, as well as guidelines for gatherings in July. Our concerns include safety for the actors, especially those flying, if we were on such a shortened rehearsal schedule. CFTC is committed to doing "Peter Pan" with the full artistic vision that we planned, including flying and a finished technical and artistic production, and hope to have that opportunity in the future.
We are excited to announce we have a plan for a great summer theatrical experience! CFTC will be presenting an outdoor production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in August at Veteran's Amphitheater in Fairfax City. The nature of the play allows for small groups at a time to rehearse and use very minimal technical elements. An outdoor event also allows us to plan for several scenarios of social distancing in order to comply with CDC regulations and to ensure the safety and health of our actors, crew and patrons.
