Two Pike Road Intermediate School learners, Asa Moates and Griffin Isbell, were thrilled to be cast in Alabama Shakespeare Festival's recent performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The two shared the role of "the boy".  

ASF's website describes the show as "Shakespeare’s classic comedy to life with a dazzling production. Four young lovers facing the prospect of an unhappy marriage escape into a magical forest. Nearby, a fairy king and queen are engaged in a war of wills, and a crew of amateur actors is rehearsing for a royal wedding. One wily sprite intent on mischief has orders to intervene. What could possibly go wrong? Set within a child’s attic, this production fosters wild imagination and uses live music throughout." 

We are so proud to have representation on the professional stage from PRIS. Griffin Isbell and other PRIS learner, Hank Posey, will also be performing in their upcoming production of A Christmas Carol in November and December 2023.
