Join us for a 60-minute, full-energy performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. True to the original text and featuring contemporary costumes & music, this fall ADTY touring production concludes with 3 days of on campus performances.

It is Midsummer’s Night, a magical time when the lines between the real and fairy worlds are blurred. Four young lovers flee the court of Athens rather than face an arranged marriage and/or unrequited love. Giving chase and being chased, they find refuge in an enchanted forest. A group of bumbling actors also enters the forest, rehearsing a play to honor an upcoming royal wedding. Chaos reigns as these mere mortals cross paths with a feuding fairy King & Queen and none but mischievous Puck knows what is true and what is magic. Let Shakespeare’s captivating comedy transport you to the most magical of midsummer nights.
