A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Will Be Performed By Wharton Community Players

The Wharton Community Players invite audiences to step into a world of magic, romance, and mischief with their upcoming production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, directed by Wharton Performing Arts School faculty member Lilli Markey.
Performances will take place June 12, 13, and 20 at 8:00 p.m., and June 14 and 21 at 2:00 p.m. at the Wharton Black Box Theater.

One of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows a group of lovers and amateur actors as they wander into a forest ruled by mischievous fairies. Filled with mistaken identities, magical transformations, and moonlit chaos, the timeless tale explores the unpredictable nature of love with humor and heart.

"Wharton Community Players embody our commitment to lifelong learning and accessibility," said Debra Joyal, Director of the Wharton Performing Arts School. "By offering this program free of charge, we create opportunities for adults of all backgrounds and experience levels to connect, grow, and experience the transformative power of theater in a supportive community."
