Midnite

Written by REINA HARDY and RORY LEAHY
Directed by RANDY BAKER

A unique mix of horror and humor, Midnite invites us into a world where reality blurs with fantasy, and the unexpected is always just around the corner.

When a group of college film majors venture into the woods to make an ill-advised horror movie, they encounter supernatural forces of love and madness in this contemporary, dark comedy loosely based on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (with a touch of Blair Witch Project thrown in).

Originally written by Reina Hardy and Rory Leahy, this play gives audiences a darkly entertaining story with sharp dialogue, modern cultural references, and a playful edge.

Performers: Kacey Cromer, Dairena Easter, Travis Garrison Jr., Ella Harvey, Adeola Ijiti, Isa Kline, Evan McFarland, Audrey Mollo, Charlotte Pugach, David (Solomon) Roling, Omari Russell, Benjamin Stasiowski, Margaret Sundbeck, Ginger von Klein, and Morris Washington

Content Warnings: Some profanity and mature themes.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Midnite is the culmination of our Summer Acting Institute for Teens (SAIT), a challenging 4-week acting conservatory designed to immerse young performers aged 13-19 in the art of acting—from mastering the essential principles of the craft to publicly performing a challenging contemporary work. This program is directed by Theatre Lab Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director Deb Gottesman, with the final production directed by award-winning D.C. playwright Randy Baker.
