In the Rude Mechanicals' upcoming production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Shakespeare's classic comedy is transplanted to the neon-and-glitter fantasyland of the Las Vegas Strip. Always remember: "What happens in The Woods (Hotel and Casino, that is), stays in The Woods." The Rude Mechanicals are known for two things: reinventing classic theater with wildly inventive concepts, and throwing a gr
and party while they do. Rudes shows aren't just theater productions, they're creative social experiences for everyone who gets involved. We've created this page for everyone who wants to have a very Rude summer with us! Sure, there'll be information about auditions, performances, calls for crew, and (hopefully!) media links and reviews. But there will also be announcements of karaoke nights, post-rehearsal dining and drinking, cast parties, and other social occasions to which you are cordially invited. This is also where you'll find out about promotional events, performance art stunts, awesome partnerships with other groups and artists, and opportunities to come out and be eccentric and creative with us, even if you aren't part of the cast and crew. Well, when you're at your desk cruising Facebook and pretending to work, there may just be stuff here to entertain and amuse you. Because why would we be doing this at all if we had, you know, DIGNITY and didn't want to dance like monkeys for your attention? Show info:
