Stage 2’s summer production for 2025 is William Shakespeare’s timeless comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Written around 1595–1596, this classic play is known for its enchanting blend of romance, magic, and comedic confusion. Set in ancient Athens and an enchanted forest beyond its borders, the story unfolds through several interconnected plots:
Four Athenian lovers become entangled in a web of misunderstandings and mistaken identities.
A band of amateur actors, known as the Mechanicals, attempts to rehearse a play for the Duke’s wedding—resulting in outrageous comedic moments.
The mischievous fairy Puck, under orders from Oberon, creates magical mayhem by enchanting the wrong people, sparking chaos, jealousy, and unexpected love triangles.
Titania, Queen of the Fairies, is tricked into falling in love with Bottom, who has been given the head of a donkey in one of the play’s most iconic scenes.
This production allows Stage 2’s young performers to explore classical text, physical humor, ensemble acting, and the colorful world of Shakespearean storytelling. Students will work on movement, character development, comedic timing, and the expressive language that makes this play so enduring.
