THE FUTURE MEETS THE PAST

AND LOVE EXISTS IN ALL LOCATIONS...IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER

Featuring: Choreographer, Dancer, Singer

Giovanna Badagliacco-Cabrera

Midsummer Nights Dream is a play with young people in love, angry parents, royalty that are also in love, commoners that are also actors, fantasy characters with fairies!

This poet's paradox of delight and timeless fantasy provides a conjugation of the past and the imagination of the future to help resolve the challenge of the present.

Join Arts Off Broadway's on a journey through the abiding tale of the perplexing circumstances that occur in the pursuit of love. Whether it is royalty or commoner, scholar or fool, mortal or mystic, "The course of true love never did run smooth" (Act I Scene I)


A Midsummer Nights Dream is SHAKESPEARE

for all ages.

Arts Off Broadway is a community theatre unique to San Diego's North County in that it sprung from roots as a youth theatre, exploded with success as a community theatre and then reinstituted its youth program so that entire families can enjoy theatrical experiences together in an environment that nurtures creativity and positive values.

In the spring of 2001, Escondido residents Don & Marie Verger (in the photo above) purchased property, which became the home of an after-school arts education program. "Hansel & Gretel" became the program's first production, followed by "Cinderella", "The Wizard of Oz", and a long string of successful shows, which filled theatres throughout the Escondido, Poway and Valley Center areas.

In spring of 2008, Arts Off Broadway was officially launched as a community theatre with a production featuring an adult cast, "Little Shop of Horrors", at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE). Productions at the CCAE that followed include "Kiss Me Kate", "Peter Pan", "Urinetown" (which commanded an encore performance), "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat", which featured both an adult and youth cast. We also provide separate but similiar projects like the Summer of Sondheim which included an adult production of Sweeney Todd with a junior version of Into the Woods. Having provided the North County and South Bay communities 15 musicals with live orchestration in less than four years, AOB continues to inspire San Diego County with performing arts and secures opportunity for anyone with a desire to participate in theatre and the art of creating and expandings the capacity for empathy through the arts.
