Shakespeare’s beloved classic comedy gets a new treatment by artists who can’t stand the original: resulting in a kidnapped Amazon Queen, misled Mortals, sadistic Fairies, and Mechanicals gone … stuffed? Will any of them survive four nights in the magic forest?

To make things even wilder and weirder, the cast is creating two versions of this show, which will run in rep, exploring sadistic Oberon vs compassionate Oberon; malicious Puck vs. innocent Puck; with an unexpected final surprise in both versions. The actors will not know which version they’re presenting until the first scene of the play begins! 

This co-production with The Magnetic Theatre will run Thursday through Sunday, June 3-18, 2022.

With Zak Hamrick, Christine Hellman, Daniel Henry, Molly Graves, Katie Jones, Erin McCarson, Alex McDonald, Lauren Otis, Jon Stockdale, Haven Volpe, and Paul Vonasek
