DreamWrights Center for Community Arts is proud to present two versions of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream: a one-hour production and a 30-minute youth performance featuring actors under the age of 12.
A story of order and disorder, reality and illusion, and love in all its chaos, A Midsummer Night’s Dream unfolds during the preparations for the Duke of Athens’ marriage to the Queen of the Amazons. The play follows a tangle of young lovers whose hearts are turned upside down by mischievous fairies and a misplaced love potion, while a group of enthusiastic craftsmen rehearse a play for the royal wedding—leading to one of theatre’s most beloved “plays within a play.”
Adapted from the Royal Shakespeare Company version designed for schools and community productions, this lively and accessible take blends music, magic, and mayhem for an enchanting theatrical experience.
