The lives of four young lovers and a band of craftsmen and amateur actors are manipulated by a group of fairies who inhabit the forest.

The play is under the direction of Caleb Park. Sarita Farnelli appears as ‘Puck,’ the merry servant of the fairy king, Oberon (Bob DeLuca).

Center to the main plot is the young lovers Lysander (Daniel Powers), Hermia (Alex Creamer), Demetrius (Will Farnelli) and Helena (Skylar Secord).

David Schmidt appears as ‘Bottom,’ the weaver and actor placed under a spell by Puck who becomes the focus of the Queen of the Fairies, Titania (Bonnie Love-Colwell).

One of Shakespeare’s most popular works, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ was written 1595-96.
