Madison High School Drama Sets Shakespeare at Jersey Shore

Madison High School students will present an updated, Jersey Shore version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" when they perform their fall drama this week.

Performances of "Midsummer Jersey" are scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Admission is $10, $8 for students at the door.

Written by Ken Ludwig, "Midsummer Jersey" sets Shakespeare's comedy at the Jersey Shore.

The play includes teen love triangles, the bickering married couple Titania and Oberon, the mischievous fairy Puck (who at one point suggests working magic via iPhone), and hair stylists turned budding thespians rehearsing a play on the beach, according to an announcement for the show.

You can read an interview with one of the play's directors, English teacher Douglas Oswin, on Madison Dodger Online.
