A Midsummer Night's Dream is Shakespeare's "sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll" play. Two young couples run away into the woods of Athens and encounter the fairy kingdom. Wacky, magical, mischief and love triangles abound in this canonical work. This site-specific, outdoor production will take place in the days surrounding the summer solstice 2018.

We're proud to welcome local commedia dell'arte group Pazzi Lazzi to the Athenian forest! Before each Thursday show (June 14, 21, and 28), Pazzi Lazzi will perform a special Midsummer Night's Pantomime featuring Bianca Beneduzi, Karen Burciaga, and Chiara Durazzini, and directed by Liz Adams, herself a veteran T@F actor and director. The pantomime will be begin at 6:30 and is about 15 minutes long. The play will start at its normal time of 7pm.
