A Midsummer Night’s Dream

midsummerdetail2Eric pointed out to me that I never blogged about the poster I did for my mom’s play last year.  So here it is!  My poster for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”  I had a lot of fun with the details on this one. I carved the names of the lovers in the story onto the trunk crossing them out and adding arrows as the ever changing plot demanded.  Also notice the script on the ground from which Bottom (the donkey) was reading before he was transformed. Tacked to the tree is parchment announcing the play to be preformed at Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding.  I also hid hearts in the tree trunk and in the roots. Enjoy!

Comedy of Errors

Every summer my mom directs a Shakespeare play with the local community theater.  This year she’s putting on Shakespeare’s “Comedy of Errors,” a story about twin brothers with twin servants both separated just after birth and the confusion that results when they are in the same city.  Here’s the poster I created for the play.  If any schools, community theaters or other nonprofit organizations happen to stumble across this poster, you’re welcome to use it, I’ll even change the text for you if you send me a nice e-mail!
