A Midsummer Night’s Queen


NRCA will present an afternoon of Shakespeare at The Armory with the Lawn Chair Theatre Company’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Queen” on Sunday, July 25th..  This original production is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream using the music of Freddie Mercury and others. The play is free thanks to Twining Property’s sponsorship.

Now in its 16th season, LawnChair Theatre has put together a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s renowned fantasy-comedy that the whole family can rock out to.   Featuring a cast of 23 pro-am local performers and 17-person crew, Westchester’s best traveling summer entertainment is a true community venture featuring live band performances of songs by the legendary rock group Queen.

Adapted and directed by veteran theatre actor and director Mat Young, with music arrangements and direction by The Who’s global tour conductor and Broadway professional Keith Levenson, the show will run about 120 minutes and feature Queen hits like, “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “We Are The Champions” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

LawnChair Theatre is a partner organization of the Rye Arts Center. The company is fully vaccinated and follows the latest CDC guidelines for audience, cast and crew safety.  All performances begin at 6:30 pm.
