Serving double the creative trouble, we have Paige! Paige Flores-Medrano is a proud Latine Nonbinary Director of the Stage and of Movement. They have directed short movement pieces for Red Veil Productions and pride themselves to create original pieces that cover topics of mental health and the macabre. With a Bachelors degree from the University of Northern Colorado, Paige hopes to create narratives and advance their trade via collaboration. "To draw knowledge from one source, limits the creations of the soul." That quote drives their artistic vision into the future works and productions. On top of being Assistant Director for this production and Director of Movement, Paige is also know for costume work, photography, painting, and poetry creation. #shakespeare #stonedshakespeare #amidsummernightsdream #denvertheatre

It’s time to meet the Midsummer team! Our fearless director is Mary Schaugh: Mary is known for her collaborative and innovative directing style that focuses on engaging audiences in thought-provoking and immersive experiences. For the last 15 years, Mary has directed productions throughout the U.S., on both stage and screen, spanning from opera to children’s theatre and from Shakespeare to musical theatre. She enjoyed a tenure as the regional director for the national Murder Mystery Company, an interactive, live event with a rotating cast of actors, and gained the nation’s highest ratings. In addition to directing, Mary is an accomplished actor, opera singer, and improvisor with credits in New York, Los Angeles, Colorado, and Italy. Mary is honored to be directing the inaugural production of Bowls with the Bard, and she imagines if Shakespeare were alive, he would truly enjoy lighting up and laughing it up with this incredible cast of talented, adventurous, hilarious actors. More than special thanks goes to Micaela Mannix for entrusting Mary with this wonderful task, and to Paige Flores-Medrano for their incredible support and contribution to this production.
