7 - 9:30 p.m. | A Midsummer Night's Dream | The Black Box Theatre

What fools these mortals be! Join Puck and his feisty fairy band for a Saturday at the Athens summer music festival in Shakespeare’s dreamiest romantic comedy. Hermia is engaged to Demetrius but actually loves Lysander. Lysander loves her back, until a spell casts his gaze upon her best friend Helena, who - would you believe it? - loves Demetrius. This quartet of love-sick young people are joined by a motley crew of theatricals, a fairy King and Queen in an epic showdown, and a talking donkey to boot. Delight in the exhilaration and hilarity of young love as the chaos of magic and enchantment turns the world upside down in this immersive AV interpretation. For tickets and more information, call the box office at 203-371-7908 or visit edgertoncenter.org.
