Touring Shakespeare...methinks it doth ROCK!

The Theatre Company at Hubbard Hall kicks off its summer tradition on Thursday night, July 23, with the opening night of the Summer Outdoor Shakespeare Tour!

A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Kevin McGuire

Join the adventures of four young lovers, a group of amateur actors and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest. Our story takes place in Midsummer and is a bewitching farce featuring Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius. But, "the course of true love never did run smooth" as their romantic intrigues are confused and complicated still further by entering the forest where Oberon, the King of the Fairies and his Queen, Titania, preside and where Puck is full of mischief and tricks!

We invite you to bring a picnic, blankets, folding chairs etc. to enjoy a beguiling evening of Shakespeare for the whole family! All performances being at 7:00pm. And they're FREE!
