A Midsummer Night's Dream
JUN 4 & 12, 2026 / 7:30 PM
JUN 6 & 14, 2026 / 2 PM
Shakespeare’s most enchanting comedy! On the shortest night of the year, runaway lovers, a troupe of amateur actors, and mischievous fairies collide in a magical forest where nothing is quite what it seems. As the rules of logic unravel, four young lovers are swept away in a tangled web of charms, feuds, and moonlit mischief. Whimsical and witty, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a joyful celebration of transformation and the strange spell of love.
Director / Kaeleigh Casavant
By William Shakespeare

Winner of five Tony Awards, The Drowsy Chaperone is a hilarious love letter to the golden age of musicals. A lonely theatre fan drops the needle on his favorite cast album, and suddenly the show bursts to life in his living room, complete with jazz-age romance, tap-dancing gangsters, a tipsy chaperone, and nonstop showbiz antics. Overflowing with charm, wit, and show-stopping numbers, this “musical within a comedy” is pure escapist joy.
