This Spring Red Bull Theater and Apocalyptic Artists Ensemble will be offering an in-school touring production of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, specially designed for student audiences. Directed by Kea Trevett and featuring performances by Fernando Barbosa, Colleen Litchfield, Fiona Maguire, Saby Ramirez, Alice Renier, Sean Runnette, Damian Thompson, and Zo Tipp, this production of Midsummer will tour New York City middle and high schools, providing students with a unique theatrical experience. Employing minimal design and live musical elements, a company of actors and teaching artists will transform familiar school spaces into the magical and mischievous realm of the fairies.

On the eve of a royal wedding in Athens, four young lovers fly to the woods in pursuit of their hearts' desires, and a troupe of amateur actors meet to rehearse a play. As night falls, the spirits of the woods meddle in their plans and all are transformed by a dream... or was it a dream? Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a hymn to the power of human imagination - in art, in life, and in love.
