In a time when belief in magic has faded from our world, a group of actors rehearsing scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream in the woods happen upon a lonely fairy. Driven by a sense of joyful mischief, he enchants them to perform for him. Shakespeare's beloved tale of magic, confusion, betrayal, love, and friendship gets a contemporary makeover through ancient magic.

 

Fun fact for anyone reading this: I met my soon-to-be husband designing this production and that makes it extra special to me.
