Actors take flight in The Fairy Queen

Left: Sandy Harned, flying master from ZFX, boosts up sophomore Hannah Sampson in a rehearsal of the Fairy Queen.

Direct Left: Sampson practices her lines in mid flight in a rehearsal of the Fair Queen. The Fair Queen will be showing Nov. 2-3, and Nov. 9-11. Other fliers in this production include senior Joe Lugosch, junior Josh Boggs and junior Hillary Fowler. This is the first time actors have “flown” on stage in a production at OWU. Harned trained both the performers and the crew on how to fly properly using cables and harnesses without injuring themselves. The Fairy Queen was adapted from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and features music by Henry Purcell.
