LAKEPORT, Calif. – The curtain is about to go up on a lakeside production of one of William Shakespeare's most popular plays.
Mendocino College Lake Center and Lake County Theatre Co.'s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” held a dress rehearsal on Thursday evening.
The play will be performed at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31, next to the gazebo in Library Park.
Director John Tomlinson led the cast and crew through the run through on the full set, which was in place earlier this week.
Ed Borg, who plays Francis Flute the bellows maker, said rehearsals have been going on about six weeks, and he expects it will be a good show.
He said Tomlinson “is a real fun director,” and one he's worked with on previous shows.
City Manager Margaret Silveira dropped by to check out the rehearsal. She said the city is excited to have the play taking place in the park.
The city is allowing the actors to use a portion of the Carnegie Library for storage and changing rooms, she said.
The performances are open to the public and free. Concessions will be available for sale, with proceeds to go toward student scholarships.
