A ROCKIN' Midsummer Night's Dream at Skylight Music Theatre

A world premiere musical! Experience a bold new take on Shakespeare’s beloved comedy. Journey from ancient Athens into an enchanted forest where lovers, mischievous spirits, and feuding royalty collide in a magical, rock-and-roll reimagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Blending Shakespeare’s original text with a dynamic, genre-spanning score, this modern musical adaptation is full of humor, heart, and theatrical mischief. This production also marks a special first-time collaboration with the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, onstage and behind the scenes — promising an evening of laughter, love, and a little bit of magic.
