Fireside Folktales Podcast

Fireside Folktales was created by Dallas Hawthorn in 2019 as a way to celebrate and create artwork. Whether a show takes one year or five years, the end result and the passion involved in the project is all that matters to him. 

Season One, Whispering, is a retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone, as told through the perspective of the soon-to-be Queen of the Dead. Season Two is a performance of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream; an experience filled to the brim with music, mischief, magic, and stereo sound design.

Thanks in no small part to the unpaid assistance of many talented peers and friends, he is proud to finally introduce the show that he has been dreaming about producing since he first read it in 10th Grade English class: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Premiering on June 21, 2025 at 8 PM EST.
