Antic Shake Presents: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Antic Shakespeare Theatre Company presents their spring production: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s production of two pairs of star-crossed lovers, an inept band of actors, and two opposing fairy camps is translated into a modern world of two opposing mafias and backstreet drug deals, where innocents who get in the way become corrupted just like the rest.

You’re promised to witness quite the night of revels.
