| Second Taunt Theatre Company Founders at rehearsal. |
The Second Taunt Theatre Company was recently formed by Sarah along with three friends (Annie, Joanna, and Mathilda - age 16-17). The girls became acquainted through Saltworks Theater and, with a shared love of Shakespeare, decided that A Midsummer Night's Dream would be the first performance. After many planning sessions in the Paulson living room and with a cast of youth ranging in age from 7 to 17, The Second Taunt Theatre Company will be putting on their show this weekend. The whole production is planned, organized, and performed by the kids.
The show is free; however, donations will be accepted for World Vision's Clean Water fund (Click here to find out more about the fund). The girls learned of the need for life-saving clean water while Mathilda was volunteering at World Vision and it touched their hearts.
Check out Second Taunt Theatre's premiere performance and support the efforts of these young people and their community theater. The show is only an hour and fifteen minutes long. The location is conveniently just a block south of the Franklin Inn. Join us afterwards for a late dinner or dessert. Here is the information that the Second Taunt Theatre Company has provided for me:

Performed in an enchanted amphitheater nestled in the woods.
There are benches, but feel free to bring blankets and pillows!

When you bring four mixed-up lovers, a band of bumbling actors,
and a few mischievous faeries to a clearing in the woods, you're bound for excitement!
