The 'Second Chance Job Fair' gives those with a criminal record, and opportunity to start new.
"A Midsummer's Night Dream" was written some 430 years ago. The Public Theatre's newest production updates it for a modern audience with a Tejano sensibility.SAN ANTONIO — Athenian courtyards become historic San Antonio districts, classical music is energized by mariachis and woodland fairies are dancing folklórico in “Midsummer Sueño,” premiering this week at San Pedro Springs Park.
“Midsummer Sueño” will be decidedly more family-friendly than Allen’s take, and also decidedly more Tejano. It’s a grand undertaking, both in an aesthetic sense and a personal one; the show represents a return to the theater world after 25 years for Paco Farias, the 52-year-old writer and director of “Midsummer Sueño”. For years he's been working in the world of TV and film . We did want water, we did want lights, we did want the stone that we see with the missions.
It’s in the show’s details and in the adjustments made to the Bard’s characters. Even their very names have been adjusted to compensate for the changing in setting: Hermia is now Ermida, Lysander is Lisandro, Helena is Elena. “I wasn’t expecting it to be able to blend so well with modern English and have the Spanish language incorporated so easily,” he said of Farias’ script. “It’s almost like if you read it for the first time, it’s not even Shakespeare. It takes on an identity of its own.”
“It has to feel like a family has put this dance together to celebrate,” Farias said. “It’s off the cuff, like they practiced it in their backyards.”
