The Coronavirus may have cancelled our planned premiere of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Cain Park this summer, but that hasn’t deterred us. The Dancing Wheels Company is planning a magical event for our supporters on Friday and Saturday August 21 and 22.

The Preview

Dancing Wheels’ choreographer, Catherine Meredith has reimagined this fun and frolicking Shakespearean comedy for our sit-down and stand-up dancers. Our company members will be performing recorded excerpts from this new work at some of Cleveland’s loveliest garden sites. These excerpts will be narrated by our own storyteller, Sara Lawrence-Sucato, to give our audience members a virtual taste of the full work which we’ll present in 2021. You’ll be able to tune into this event virtually by streaming on your computer or smart device.

And A Picnic, Too!

Make the preview more magical by adding a picnic to the experience! A Midsummer Night’s Dream Preview Picnic can be delivered to your door. This picnic, created by Driftwood Catering, includes a curated charcuterie and cheese selection with assorted nuts and dried fruit, a baguette, and a bottle of Prosecco to enjoy while you tune into the preview performance. The picnic serves up to 4 guests.

There are three ways you can support Dancing Wheels and experience this magical event with us. The first two options are invitations to Adopt a Dancer as a Director or Producer, both of which include our Preview Picnic provided by Driftwood Catering and available to residents of Cuyahoga and adjacent counties on Friday and Saturday August 21 and 22. If you would just like to enjoy the Preview Picnic without adopting a dancer, you can do so at the Artist Representative level.

For full details about this event, follow the link on the right to our purchase form. There you can read about all of the additional benefits of the Director and Producer levels, including getting to know your adopted dancer personally, watching a company rehearsal, and receiving personal acknowledgement on our social media pages and website.
