Keith David, Austin Lysy, Jay O. Sanders, Laila Robins, Mirelle Enos, and Tim Blake Nelson have all been cast in the Public's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. They'll be playing Oberon, Lysander, Bottom, Titania, Hermia, and Quince, respectively. Also in the cast are Jason Antoon (Snout), Missi Pyle (Helena), John Michael Hill (Puck), Daniel Oreskes (Theseus), and Elliot Villar (Demetrius).
Daniel Sullivan directs the show, from August 7 - September 9.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:57pmVery interesting. It's about time Enos returned to the New York stage, although I'd rather see her as Helena than Hermia. I'm assuming this is the same Missi Pyle from Mad TV...I'm very interested to see her flex her classical comedic muscles.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 6/18/07 at 4:30pmI love Jay Sanders, but think Tim Blake Nelson would be a great Bottom, you should excuse the expression.

Wasn't Enos in Absurd Person Singular just last season? Or was that two seasons ago?
And I LOVE me some Missi Pyle.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 4:34pmYep, it's Missi Pyle from all those horrible movies. She's always the stand-out.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 4:41pmI went to college with La Pyle, and yes, she is a very fine Shakespearian stage actress.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

She can't take a season off?
It's not like she's Streep and left for 20 years!

Actually, she didn't take time off; she was in London/on tour with Virginia Woolf. I just missed her in New York, though.
