Lanes Coven’s belief is that nature is a Shakespeare actor’s best tool (after an audience!) All productions this summer are performed under a tented stage on the peaceful grounds of Windhover Center for the Performing Arts in Rockport, MA. Director of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Co- Founding Artistic Director, Lily Narbonne, wrote in Quarto (published by Shakespeare Theatre Association):

“As a Director I’m asking, how can I help audiences get out of their own heads and, via Shakespeare, walk away wanting to take action for their community and the land around them?”

Cast & Crew:

Adrianna Mitchell (Fat Ham, Broadway) playing Titania/Hippolyta, and Kadeem Ali Harris (Amazon’s “Harlem” ) playing Bottom return to Lanes Coven from The Bronx, NY.

Justin Genna, Co- Founding Artistic Director will play the roles of Oberon/ Theseus.

Returning- after her memorable Mercutio in last summer’s Romeo and Juliet- is Eryn O’Sullivan in the role of Helena; Max Mcnamara as Lysander; and Malachi Rosen as Peter Quince.

New to Lanes Coven are Julia Herzberg as Hermia, Eliza Fitcher as Puck/ Egeus and Nate Stephenson as Demetrius. Stage Manager is Tara Hightower, and Assisting is Allie Nadeau. The newly instated Educational Acting Intern Company consists of all local Cape Ann emerging actors, Ella Mooradian, Mia Contilli, and Nate Oaks. Jennifer Greeke is this year’s costume designer.
