Midsummer Nights Dream (2024)

July 17-21, 2024

William Shakespeare's fantastically funny comedy follows three plotlines filled with mischief and chaos: a romantic entanglement between four lovers who run away to the forest and become bewitched by faeries, a dispute between a faerie king and queen who are manipulated by a rascally fairy named Puck, and the misadventures of a group of amateur actors rehearsing a play in the forest who fall victim to Puck's pranks.
