Event Number 1 - Shakespeare in Hollywood

I went to this play Thursday, October 17 in the Lyman center.  It started off with all the "stars" coming through the red carpet and as the play went on, it followed one star in particular: Reinhart.  He came to hollywood from Germany to fulfill his dream of directing Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  And a little after Reinhart was approved to have his play, out of no where, the "real" Oberon and Puck appear in hollywood when they were trying to get back home.  They had no intentions on being there and didn't know where they were.  Oberon meets members of the Midsummer Nights Dream and is mistaken for an actor and when reunited with Puck, they explain to each other what this "strange" world is that they traveled to.  Through a turn of events, the true Oberon and Puck get cast in the play, ironically, as themselves.  A little into the composition of the play, Oberon and Puck try to use a love potion so one of the female actresses will fall for him.  It created a huge mess of men falling for the wrong woman and women falling for the wrong man.  All in all, I thought all the actors and actresses did an amazing job.  They kept me interested the entire time and I'm glad I went to see it!
