Shakespeare’s most enchanting comedy! On the shortest night of the year, runaway lovers, a troupe of amateur actors, and mischievous fairies collide in a magical forest where nothing is quite what it seems. As the rules of logic unravel, four young lovers are swept away in a tangled web of charms, feuds, and moonlit mischief. Whimsical and witty, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a joyful celebration of transformation and the strange spell of love.

Directed by Kaeleigh Casavant
By William Shakespeare

Presented in collaboration with The Friction Theatre, this production is in rep with THE DROWSY CHAPERONE. Tickets sold separately.
