Tier5 is so excited to be presenting our next full production: a fabulous and fun take on William Shakespeare's classic comedy of magic and love, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, directed by Tier5 Executive Producer, James Cougar Canfield.

Athens Pride is going to be the hottest, gaggiest, best Pride in the history of Pride, especially with Theseus and Hippolyta, literal queer icons, closing the festival with their nuptials- the wedding of the century! Anyone who is anyone is going to be there. But, when the lovers' feud of King and Queen of the Fairies, Oberon and Titania, spills over, things are going to get real messy. Using the original text of Shakespeare's most legendary comedy, this story is getting a queer, fabulous twist that only Tier5 could do!

BUT TO MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN, WE NEED YOUR HELP!


As a grassroots, indie theatre company, Tier5 depends on the generosity and support of our patrons to keep creating interesting, creative, and exciting art. We've said it before, and we'll say it again: making theatre is EXPENSIVE. Especially in New York City.

So, every little bit helps us to be able to continue to provide opportunities for artists to create art in a safe and explorative space, to provide our audiences with unique theatrical experiences, and present art that may not be given an opportunity through mainstream channels.
