9 role s
Theseus is Duke of Athens: a compassionate leader distracted by his current nuptial bliss. Oberon is King of the Fairies: quick to jealousy and temper but also with a mischievous, humorous streak.
Hippolyta is to wed Theseus; his match in wit and strength, Queen of the Amazons with a warrior’s background. Titania is Queen of the Fairies: strong and resilient with care and sensitivity for her fairies and the forest. Loves Oberon but stands her ground.
Moves well. Mischievous and inventive. Assistant to Oberon but always looking to have the most fun possible. A storyteller with a strong sense of play, dance, and movement.
Moves well. The “star” of the Mechanicals, set to play the leading knight Pyramus. A true performer whose ambition may not match his skill set. Has a perspective-changing, humbling experience in the forest.
Quince is the company’s director. An earnest visionary working to corral the chaos of the ensemble
A strong-willed performer who probably should be playing the lead. Foil to Bottom. Plays “Thisbe” in the Mechanicals’ play.
An often self-deprecating, sometimes obsessed, always passionate young woman who follows her love into the forest.
A strong-willed young woman, determined to elope with Lysander, whom she loves. Defies her father and the Duke for love.
A proud and somewhat arrogant young man who, thanks to some love juice from the fairies, wavers rapidly between loving Hermia and Helena. Moves well.
