Meet the Cast of Midsummer! Spotlight on Connor Scott (Lysander)

We're delighted to have Connor back for another year with Classics on the Rocks, especially after his Shakes Day 2019 performance(s) as Hamlet and Benedick. He is one of two Connors playing members of the lovers' quadrangle in Midsummer, and is locked in an eternal battle for the title of "Connor 1."

He is definitely not seven years old.

At Classics on the Rocks, we believe that just as whiskey doesn't need anything more than rocks to tame its bite.

It's classics served simply on the rocks.
