A Midsummer's Night Dream

The Rustic Mechanicals return to BlackRock!
The Mechanicals tour three shows annually, including their summer West Virginia Shakespeare in the Park(s) outdoor tour, focusing on making Shakespeare’s plays accessible to modern audiences by utilizing dynamic and extreme casting techniques paired with Shakespeare’s staging conditions. The Rustic Mechanicals perform and teach on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Massawomek, Calicuas, and Moneton people, colonially known as West Virginia. It is with gratitude that we honor the land and the First Nation people who were the original stewards of our home among the hills. We want The Rustic Mechanicals to be a diverse and inclusive organization: accessible, welcoming, and truly representative of the population of West Virginia. We desire to offer equal opportunities to our current and potential audiences and artists.
