Love and magic intermingle when two couples get lost in an enchanted fairy forest on the eve of a royal wedding. At the same time, a group of rustic amateur actors rehearse a play to be performed at the wedding. Fairy mischief abounds as dreams and reality become tangled.

Artistic Director, Tyson Douglas Rand is a 36-year veteran of the performing arts. He has been working as a professional theatre artist since 1982, acting, directing and designing productions for academic, community and regional/professional theatres. He joined CSF as an actor in 2005 and has since served as Props Master, Designer, Director, Production Manager, Managing Director and now as Artistic Director.

Operations Director, Brian Pedaci is a well-known Cleveland actor who has performed with CSF as Henry VIII in 2012, as Iago in Othello (2011), Mark Antony in Antony and Cleopatra (2009) and the Duke of Cornwall in King Lear (2006). Previously, Brian has served as Managing Director for Bad Epitaph Theater Company and Charenton Theater Company.
