Love is in the air, and the fairies are ripe for mischief! Shakespeare… with a twist! returns just in time for Pride with our silliest, dreamiest show yet: A Midsummer Night's Dream.

In the forests of Athens, four young lovers unknowingly find themselves in the middle of a feud between the King and Queen of the fairies. Their lives soon take a magical twist, when one meddling fairy causes chaos with the aid of a powerful love potion. Meanwhile, a bumbling troupe of amateur actors rehearse a play to be performed for the Duke's wedding.
