About the Show

One of Shakespeare’s funniest comedies, and the original rom-com, our shortened version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be set in Athens, Louisiana complete with American folk music and an ensemble of dancing fairies.

It is July on the Delta. The Gulf coast. The bayou. And as anyone who has lived below the Mason-Dixon Line can attest, summer in the South is a force of nature. Heat buzzes in the air. Unseen creatures click and hiss in the trees and reeds all around. The sun sears. Fickle winds deliver cooling breezes one moment and invoke cloudy darkness the next. A storm is always brewing. And the wetlands come to life.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a romantic comedy that follows four young Athenians who flee to the forest to escape arranged marriages and unrequited love. In the woods they become entangled in the magical world of Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairies. This is Midsummer (in winter) like you’ve never seen it!  A perfect show for Valentine’s Day weekend!
