Photos: Meet the Cast of Actors’ Theatre of Columbus' A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM in Schiller Park

Philip J. Hickman directs an enchanting new take on Shakespeare’s most beloved romantic comedy under the stars.

By:

Actors’ Theatre of Columbus brings a fresh, spirited production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream to life this summer, returning to its roots with the quintessential Shakespeare-in-the-Park experience. Check out new photos of the cast.

Directed by Philip J. Hickman, the production runs Thursdays through Sundays at 8:00pm from June 19 to July 13, 2025, at the Schiller Park Amphitheatre.

A timeless favorite in outdoor theatre tradition, A Midsummer Night’s Dream blends romance, rivalry, and magic in a fantastical comedy where mischievous fairies, mistaken identities, and love gone awry collide beneath a midsummer moon. This updated staging promises lively laughs, enchanting visuals, and a whimsical take on Shakespeare’s world of dreamy misadventure and delightful disorder.

Audiences are invited to bring a blanket, a lawn chair, and a sense of wonder for an unforgettable evening of free, accessible, and joy-filled live theatre in the heart of German Village.
