A midsummer night's Dream at The Empress Theatre

Step into the moonlit hills of 1930s Appalachia for a bold reimagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream

In a world of mountain folklore, rural tradition, and whispered superstition, lovers cross paths under the cover of night while something wild and magical stirs deep in the woods. When a traveling troupe, feuding families, and mischievous forest spirits collide, reality bends and chaos takes hold beneath the summer sky.

This reimagined Shakespearean classic blends poetic language with the rich atmosphere of the Appalachian mountains, where love is unpredictable, magic feels just out of sight, and nothing is quite as it seems once the forest wakes.

Experience a timeless story told through a hauntingly beautiful new lens, where the line between dream and reality disappears with the mist.
