Hermia is in love with Lysander, but her father wants her to marry Demetrius. So, she runs away to marry Lysander. Helena loves Demetrius, but he loves Hermia. This is a musical retelling of Shakepeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. 

Dominick Alesia has written a funny and modern take on this Shakespeare classic. This production is very well done with great singing and excellent costumes. It’s also a lengthy one, coming in at just over 3 hours with an intermission.  

The only issue is with the in the round seating, which results in the actors facing directly away from you at times. If they just removed one of the four sides, this issue would be fixed. As it is now, the best seats are the ones directly across the room from the piano. 

Cost of a ticket: $26
