Shakespeare in Hollywood at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre (CVLT)

It’s 1934, and Hollywood is buzzing with excitement over the filming of an epic movie version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. But when the two biggest stars of the silver screen refuse to play the lead roles, the legendary director Max Reinhardt is left in a bind.

Enter Oberon and Puck, fresh from the enchanted forest, who magically appear on the set! Suddenly, the lines between reality and fantasy, ancient Athens and Golden Age Hollywood, blur into a hilarious whirlwind of mistaken identities, confused lovers, and theatrical chaos. Packed with sparkling wit, madcap antics, and a loving homage to both Shakespeare and classic cinema, Shakespeare in Hollywood is a dazzling comedy that will leave you in stitches.
