MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM IN PRISON

Directed by Bushra Azzouz

We began filming Midsummer Night's Dream in Prison on Saturday, June 19, 2010, at Two Rivers Correctional Institution, near Umatilla, Oregon. We had permission to film inside the prison eight times. Our last film date was October 9th. Our film crew included, at different times: Bushra Azzouz, Richard Blakeslee, Patrick Williams, Jon Beanlands, Aysha Ghazoul, Tom Chamberlain, Brian Yazzi, Jeffrey Richardson, Michael Poulin-Roberson, Mario Garza and Vasiliki Katrivanou.

Bushra and the crew filmed rehearsals and performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream, group dialogues and individual interviews with the actors.

We hope to have video clips on this site and on YouTube in the not-too-distant future.
