Spend a Magical Night in the Forest with A Midsummer Night’s Dream!

Winter is upon us, but you can dream away the holiday blues and escape to the forest with Shakespeare’s beloved and enchanting comedy. A whimsical story of romance, mischief and magic, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, follows four young lovers on an unseasonably cold night as they stumble into the middle of a quarrel between the Fairy Queen and King. When a group of local rustics rehearsing a play also gets caught up in the madness, the comical haze of spells and confusion seems like it will never clear. But with a little bit of magic, Puck will help make amends. Kristin Clippard directs.
