HILLSDALE HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS PLAYFUL, IMAGINATIVE A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, March 7 - 11.

 

SAN MATEO, CA — William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of the Bard’s most joyous comedies, and director Allison Gamlen is taking that joy and running with it in Hillsdale High School's modern, hip hop inspired production, which runs March 7 through March 11 in Hillsdale's Little Theater.

And just as Shakespeare combined characters from three different worlds (royalty in the court of ancient Athens, tradespeople from the Elizabethan era and fairies from Renaissance folklore), Gamlen is borrowing from different times and places to create a visually stunning and fantastical world.

 

TICKETS: Can be purchased online at www.hillsdalehigh.com/drama, by phone at (650)558.2634 or by emailing hillsdaledramatix@gmail.com. Tickets will also be available at the door. Tickets are $10 for students and seniors and $15 for general admission.

TIMES: Performances are Wednesday, March 7 through Saturday, March 10 at 7pm and Sunday, March 11 at 2pm in the newly renovated Little Theatre at Hillsdale High School, 3115 Del Monte Street in San Mateo.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
