The production brings to life a chaotic love story among four young lovers, mystical fairies, and a troupe of amateur actors, all set against the backdrop of an enchanting summer festival. The ensemble cast features Scott Aiello as Oberon, Jordan Arredondo as Lysander, and Elizabeth Laidlaw as Titania, among others. Following each performance, the audience will have the opportunity to engage with the cast in a question-and-answer session.
