One of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream transports audiences to the realm of kings, queens, fairies, and pompous actors for a raucous evening of magic and mayhem. Jealous lovers find themselves ensnared by the mischievous Puck, a bumbling amateur theater troupe presents a play within a play, and the fairy queen Titania falls madly in love with...you'll have to see it to believe it.
"Midsummer is Shakespeare's most accessible show -- it is funny, weird, and unserious," says director Kat Mail. "It is therefore, in my view, Shakespeare's most important show, providing a magical gateway (for schoolchildren and adults alike) into his otherwise daunting world."
"Midsummer reminds audiences how fun Shakespeare can be," said Marina Altschiller-Gannon, Executive Director of Dive In Productions. "Shakespeare is silly, raunchy and full of absolute tomfoolery. This cast and crew has committed to the idea that audiences should be laughing throughout the show and have put together some of the smartest, funniest clowning and comedy work I've had the pleasure of watching."
