[THEATRE]
One Song Productions Presents: A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
Come experience this magical and beloved classic play written by William Shakespeare. The comedic tale follows the exploits of four lovers, the Duke of Athens, his fiancée, a troupe of "rude mechanicals" set out to produce a play for the Duke's wedding, and the Fairies who observe and meddle in the lives of the mortals. Over the course of one crazy midsummer's night, love will be pursued, captured, lost, switched, enchanted, and finally found again in all it's glory. Directed by Laney Meyer, this show is being produced by One Song Productions, a non-profit student-run theatre group local to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro-Durham area.
