A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
By William Shakespeare

Direction by Grechen Lynne Wingerter

March 29 at 2:00 P.M.

April 2 and 4 at 8:00 P.M.

William Shakespeare’s classic play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is a fun-filled adventure of mischief, magic, and moonlight. When two pairs of star-crossed lovers, a troupe of inept amateur actors, a feuding pair of supernatural sprites, and a love potion gone awry all come together in an enchanted moonlit forest, the result is a zany mixture of silliness and excitement for the whole family.
