Nathan Cooper (BFA ’13), a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BFA Program in Musical Theatre Performance, and Jennifer Ledesma (BA ’16), a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Musical Theatre, are in the cast of this new musical, described as an “immersive, pop-rock ode to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, . . . exploring the ideas of love and gender through a queer lens.” Cooper plays Puck, whose magical mischief sets the romantic comedy in motion.

Bite plays at Mary’s Attic, located at 5400 N. Clark in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. For tickets, call 800-737-0984 or click here.
