Teacher-directors also have a platform for showcasing their skills in front of an international audience, so it\u2019s sad that these student productions are often ignored by press.&#8221; Overall, she writes, &#8220;<em>A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream in Gotham<\/em> by Caddo Parish Magnet High School in Louisiana is one of the festival\u2019s offerings, and whilst it certainly has its issues, it has plenty of merits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Reeves has innate instinct for physical comedy and a clear skill in developing that in her students,&#8221; continues Kressly. &#8220;There are plenty of chuckles to be had in the mechanicals\u2019 scenes that steal the show. The performances are hammy and over-the-top, but that\u2019s the sort that works best for these characters who are rooted in Commedia stock characters and slapstick.

Talent and volume does vary, but their enthusiasm is universal. Among the most noteworthy performances were those of Echo Patriquin and Scott Martin. Patriquin\u2019s passionate portrayal of Helena is worthy of an actress twice her age, whilst Scott Martin\u2019s natural comedic talent bubbles through delightfully in his portrayal of Frances Flute &amp; Thisby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3468\" src=\"http:\/\/caddomagnet.net\/magnet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/25921994543_f4cdb1b31b_k-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"25921994543_f4cdb1b31b_k\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caddomagnet.net\/magnet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/25921994543_f4cdb1b31b_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caddomagnet.net\/magnet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/25921994543_f4cdb1b31b_k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/caddomagnet.net\/magnet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/25921994543_f4cdb1b31b_k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caddomagnet.net\/magnet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/25921994543_f4cdb1b31b_k.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maddie Tinsley, Scott Martin, Summer Jones, Joy Rester.<br \/>\nAbove, Echo Patriquin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/128778436@N06\/albums\/72157671347755810\">More photos of Midsummer Gotham.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"page-title flipboard-title\"><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The American High School Theatre Festival is wonderful,&#8221; writes British reporter Laura Kressly. &#8220;It gives school students from the US and Canada the opportunity to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":3467,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
