  3. The Acting Company - A Midsummer Night's Dream


Written by William Shakespeare 
Directed by Risa Brainin 

The original rom-com! A rapturous, fresh take on one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, The Acting Company’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a captivating, coming-of-age story that will surprise and delight! In this fast-paced, crowd-pleasing comedy, a pair of young lovers flee to an enchanted forest where a troupe of amateur actors rehearse a play. With the help of a mystical flower, the fairy king and queen’s mischievous servant Puck creates chaos for these unsuspecting humans, leading to mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and comical transformations. Bursting with mirth, music, magic, and mayhem, this classic tale of illusion and love leaps to new life with an electric cast of New York-based artists.
