Production Synopsis:

This was Shady Shakespeares second season at Sanborn Park in Saratoga Calfornia and 5th season overall.  It was also my good friend Doll Piccotto's directing debut and I was happy to assist and act as Evil Minion..  Most of the credit for the success of this production goes to Doll and the fantastic cast.  They all took charge and had a blast.  I humbley added some ideas as my own such as the Mechnical's "Bad Riverdance" and the Philostrate/Quince "moment" (if you saw it, you know what I mean!)  This was Shady's most successfull production to date and the crowds just kept coming.
