A review from BroadwayWorld highlights the success of the first-time collaboration between Skylight Music Theatre and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts in A Rockin’ Midsummer Night’s Dream, with particular praise directed at the UWM student performers.
The review calls out the young cast’s strong presence, noting that “the lovers are well cast,” with Serena Vasquez (Hermia), Lucas Drube (Lysander), Logan Grace (Helena), and Nathaniel Contreras (Demetrius) bringing clarity and energy to the central relationships. The mechanicals also stand out, with Mitchell Blohm (Francis Flute), Larissa Beckman (Robin Starveling), and Sanaa Harper (Tom Snout) contributing to what the reviewer describes as a “delightfully comic” ensemble.
Importantly, the review underscores the depth of talent among the students, emphasizing that they “hold their own” within the professional production. Ensemble members Olivia Coleman, Gwendolyn Grace, Samantha Knapp, Alannah Parlich, and Robert Stewart further support the show’s dynamic stage presence, reinforcing the strength of the collaboration and the students’ readiness for professional performance environments.
