Open Fist Theatre Company presents a provocative new production of A Midsummer Nights Dream set in the Antebellum South. Intrigued by the Mechanicals line That would hang us every mothers son, director James Fowler has moved the action from Athens, Greece to Athens, Georgia circa 1855. There, with Shakespeares text unchanged, we enter a world where the magic of an enslaved people plays out in the lives of those to whom they remain invisible. Appropriate for ages 8+. June 17-August 13; Open Fist Theatre Company @ Atwater Village Theatre, 3269 Casitas Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90039; $15-$25; www.openfist.org
