They’re at it again! Students from preschool through twelfth grade will present one of Shakespeare’s most familiar comedies – A Midsummer Night’s Dream – at the Lopez Community Center on Nov. 6-9.  Tickets are currently on sale at Paper Scissors on the Rock, and online via the company website: www.communityshakespeare.org.

Arguably Shakespeare’s most accessible play, Midsummer is set in ancient Athens and the forest that surrounds it.  On the eve of Duke Theseus’s wedding celebration, two groups of Athenians make their way to the woods for different reasons: lovers fleeing the law, and local workers rehearsing a play.  There they fall under the spells of powerful fairies who also inhabit the forest.  Mayhem ensues, but all’s well that ends well.

The Community Shakespeare Company’s production includes three adult actors and more than twenty Lopez students.  Stadium-style seating assures plenty of seats with great viewing from both sides of the audience. Preview performances begin Wednesday, Nov. 6 at noon and 7:30pm, with admission by donation.  Ticketed performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 7-8-9 at 7:30 p.m.  Student tickets are $10, adults $15. There is no reserved seating except for senior citizens; doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The play is appropriate for all ages and should last a little over two hours including intermission, so mark your calendars and join the fun. Magic will be in the air!
