YHS SPRING DRAMA PRODUCTION
       The YHS Drama Department worked tirelessly for months to bring you our spring performance,
the Shakespearean classic, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
         Due to social distancing restrictions, we had to think of a new way of staging the play – the
solution was to create a digital television show, with new episodes uploaded every week. Just click on
the links below! As well as in the weekly Y-Line, access information will also be posted on YHS social
media: Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and you can scan QR codes in the YHS hallways. We will
send out the episode lists via email, too. It is absolutely free for anyone and everyone to watch, and
since it is Shakespeare and in the public domain, please share it with anyone you want!
       Please watch this week’s (LONG) episode and delight in the students’ creativity and enthusiasm.
Enjoy the updated characters and re-worked dialogue, proving once again that Shakespeare is both
timeless and infinitely adaptable.
