Utah Shakespeare Festival presents A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

The Utah Shakespeare Festival is once again hitting the road with its Shakespeare-in-the-Schools touring production-this year performing the magical and enchanting story of A Midsummer Night's Dream. From January to April, the Festival will take its production of A Midsummer Night's Dream to more than 25,000 students in five western states.

The tour will spend 14 weeks on the road visiting schools, community centers, and correctional facilities in Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona with over 65 performances for more than 120 schools. Also included is a fifteen-minute post-show discussion with the actors and optional workshops in Stage Combat, Performing Shakespeare's Text, and Developing Character through Improvisation.

In addition to support from the Shakespeare for a New Generation program which is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, this tour's school performance partners are the Utah State Office of Education: Professional Outreach Programs in the Schools, Mountain West Small Business Finance, Ally Bank, Southern Utah University, The West Valley City Arts Council, and Salt Lake County Zoo, Arts, and Parks program.
