The Drama Club invites the campus community to enjoy its Spring production of William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Set in a magical forest just outside Athens, the play follows four young lovers, a group of well-meaning amateur actors, and mischievous fairies whose magical interference leads to comic confusion, mistaken identities, and ultimately, happily-ever-after endings. It’s a lively, whimsical celebration of love, imagination, and chaos.

Ticket Information:

• $5 — Students

• $10 — General Admission

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at the Campus Store (in person or by phone). The Drama Club will also be tabling in CDH from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. every day through the show (cash only).
