I have done this show twice now! It's one of my favorites. I used the "adults" as the fairies. My cast was 20 people. Hard to double up the other parts, as they would have to change costumes/identities very quickly. Also, the majority of the cast is on stage for the final scene.
Principal Platt/Peasblossom………………………
Chris Athens, the Governor/Cobweb…………
Hippolyta, his fiancé/Sunflower…………
Phillip Trait, secretary/Mote…………………
Justine Dicarlo, chief of staff/Sunshine………
Rufus Dicarlo, her husband/Turtle……………

Our spring show is Ken Ludwig's Midsummer /Jersey. Has anyone done this show before? Our set is in good shape, but I want to double up on the cast; that is, have actors play multiple roles. If you have a list of how you did just that, I would love to hear how. I'm thinking 12 to 15 actors but I could do more or less!
Thanks!
