A magical forest, impish fairies and a host of some of Shakespeare’s most comedic characters make A Midsummer Night’s Dream one of his most popular plays—and a perfect introduction to theater. When lovers cross with mischievous sprites in an enchanted forest, a series of mishaps occur and nothing is what it seems. Add to the mix a bevy of fumbling actors and all chaos breaks loose until dawn breaks and all is once again right with the world.

Review Round-Up
| ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended
"...The bottom line on this one is that if you have the opportunity to introduce a young person to Shakespeare, this is the show you want. And if you can’t round up a kid to take with you, it is good Shakespeare in its own right. CST’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is living proof of the bard’s universality and power to inspire theatrical artists across time. It is funny and entertaining and just about as good as a youth theatre production could be."
