The settings became more and more elaborate and realistic. In one production a fairy dance was performed by 41 additional fairies. In another Ellen Terry, appeanng as Puck at age eight. made her entrance through a trap door seated on a mushroom. The Victorians made the fairies more and more gossamer and fey, adding wings and removing their original connections with the earth and enchantment. The music com posed by Mendelssohn was first per formed in 1827 and became a regu~ar feature of Victorian prod\tctions. The excesses of late 19th century production, including real rabbits running across the stage in one ver sion and fairies with battery operated lights in another, led to Harley Granville-Barker's reaction against these practices in 1914. He used English folk tunes instead of Mendelssohn and dressed the fairies in gold body stockings with gold paint on their faces and hands.

Many such Acompanies have been started, though none has survived to take its place among the repertory theaters of the other maJor cities of the world. We know that dreams do not become reality overnight, and that the formation of a lasting and vigorous institution that may one day be as indigenous to New York as the Brooklyn Bridge, the Met and Junior's, will take time, talent, patience and hard work. However, after our highly acclaimed first year (Frank Rich of THE TIMES called us "the m1racle of the season") our hopes for success are high. So in this, the second season of our ensemble, we, at the BAM Theater Company, wish to thank all of you who are making our dream possible by your continued support, and to say to all of you who have joined us-welcome to our dream.
