Impact Theatre has added five final performances to the run of its 1980s-style Midsummer Night's Dream, which has been playing to sold-out houses, racking up rave reviews in the process.

In addition to being awarded a critic's choice in the East Bay Express and a starred review in the SF Bay Guardian, Artistic Director Melissa Hillman's production has been lauded by the SF Chronicle, the Daily Californian, the Berkeley Daily Planet, PlayShakespeare.com, and more. Audience members have been returning to catch it again, and people have been turned away at the door most nights.

Added performances are as follows (all performances at 8pm):
Wed, Mar 18
Wed, Mar 25
Thu, Mar 26
Fri, Mar 27
Sat, Mar 28 (must close after this performance)

Tickets for A Midsummer Night's Dream start at $12. Tickets are available online at impacttheatre.com.

ABOUT IMPACT THEATRE
Since 1996 Impact Theatre has spoken to a new generation of theatregoers and enthusiasts alike who want to see something fresh and bold on stage. Impact's audience ranges from students to professionals to seniors, all of whom share a taste for exciting, unpretentious theatre that doesn't conform to stale assumptions of what constitutes high culture.
Impact's primary mission is to directly contribute to the future of American theatre through focusing on new plays by emerging playwrights. Impact has produced 17 full-length world premieres, including 12 by local playwrights, as well as dozens of world-premiere ten-minute plays by burgeoning writers nationwide in the Impact Briefs series. Impact also prides itself on its fast-paced, vital, contemporary spins on classic drama.

Impact shows compel, provoke, and inspire, at prices everyone can afford. And nowhere else in the Bay Area can you eat pizza and drink beer while you're watching a play. The East Bay Express named Impact "Best Small Theatre Company of 2008" and included Impact's Ching Chong Chinaman and Jukebox Stories: The Case of the Creamy Foam in its list "Top Ten Plays of 2008."
