Georgia Shakespeare Presents A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, 5/5-5/9

Shake at the Lake 2010 will feature a week-long run of last summer's hit A Midsummer Night's Dream in the heart of Piedmont Park May 5 - 9.

As in years past, each performance is free, but tickets are required. For more information on ticket distribution, visit our blog.

Presented by Bank of America, this year's presentation of A Midsummer Night's Dream is directed by John Dillon and will feature some of Georgia Shakespeare's most beloved artists, including Chris Kayser (Bottom), Daniel Thomas May (Demetrius), and Tess Malis Kincaid (Titania).

"Because Shake at the Lake is our gift to the community, we rely wholly on corporate, foundation and individual support to make the event possible," says Producing Artistic Director, Richard Garner. "We are extremely grateful for our presenting sponsor, Bank of America, as well as the support of The Coca-Cola Company, CornerCap Investment Counsel, The Kendeda Fund, The Charles Loridans Foundation, and the Piedmont Park Conservancy. Without their philanthropic vision and earnest interest in the arts in our city, Shake at the Lake would not be possible."

Performances are nightly at 7:30pm, May 5 - 9, overlooking Lake Clara Meer near the park's 12th Street entrance.

Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of each performance beginning at 10am. Tickets are distributed from The Piedmont Park Visitor Center (just inside the 12th Street Entrance), and from Georgia Shakespeare's Box Office at The Conant Performing Arts Center. More info at 404.264.0020.
