LawnChair Theatre presents Shakespeare adaptation

Starting this July, LawnChair Theatre is back for its 16th season with a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s renowned fantasy-comedy that the whole family
can rock out to. Featuring a cast of 23 pro-am local performers and 17-person crew, Westchester’s best traveling summer entertainment is a true community
venture featuring live band performances of songs by the legendary rock group Queen.

apted and directed by veteran theatre actor and director Mat Young, with music arrangements and direction by The Who’s global tour conductor and Broadway
professional Keith Levenson, the show will run about 120 minutes and feature Queen hits like, “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “We Are The Champions” and “Bohemian
Rhapsody.”
