Shakespeare in the Park: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
The Bard is back at the historic bandshell in Centennial Park! Magic, mischief, and moonlight fill the Athenian forest in this joyful tangle of love, laughter, and theatrical mayhem. When mischievous fairies meddle with runaway lovers and an unsuspecting troupe of amateur actors, dreams blur with reality and anything can happen. Full of wonder, whimsy, and enchantment, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is Shakespeare at his most playful. This production is sure to delight audiences of all ages!
