"I think that the whimsy of 'MidSummer' translates very effectively into this college environment where everyone’s just kind of trying to fall in love and to experience life to its fullest. I could definitely see somebody sitting down in a movie theater and eating their popcorn to watch this version, but this is so much better than a movie theater because we get to see the actors live and in person.” - Rose Beardmore
