Not your usual night at the theater
Forget the back row. For this show, the audience sits right on the stage. Seats wrap around three sides of the acting space. The actors perform in the middle, just a few feet from you.
There's no big set. The students use costumes, a few props and some simple blocks. Theater people call this a “black box” show, and it puts all the focus on the acting.
You'll see every face and hear every joke. It feels less like watching a play and more like being in the forest with them. Seats on a stage are limited, so arrive early.
Shakespeare in 60 seconds
A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies. It's full of magic, mix-ups and people making fools of themselves. Here's the story, no spoilers.
Four young people in Athens run away into an enchanted forest. Their love lives are already a mess. Oberon, the fairy king, and his helper Puck have a magic flower that makes people fall in love. They try to help, and it goes very wrong. Local workers are rehearsing a play in the same forest. One of them, Bottom, gets turned into a donkey. By morning it all sorts itself out, with weddings and a very funny play-within-a-play.
Who's who in the forest
Meet the writer
Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet. He was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, a small town in England.
He wrote this play around 1595. More than 400 years later, people all over the world still put it on. The jokes still land, too.
Lines you might know
“Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
Puck
“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
Lysander, one of the lovers

Not this one. The students use Shakespeare's own words, trimmed down to keep it short. The show is silly and over the top, and the actors make the story clear. You will get the jokes.
