Spells are cast, lovers are fooled and revelry flourishes as worlds collide in Shakespeare’s imaginative comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. On a night when anything can happen, young lovers rouse their mischievous curiosity of fairies, which use their charm to lead the couple into a playful midnight frolic through the forest. In the midst of it all, an acting troupe gets caught up in the chaos when a magic spell turns their leading man into a donkey. One of Shakespeare’s best-known comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream blurs the line between magic and reality, leading to a night so fantastical you have to dream it to believe it.

Ticket prices for the general public range from $18 to $20 and can be purchased by contacting the theatre box office at (414) 288-7504.
