Following the interval after A Christmas Carol, join us for part two of our special holiday family-friendly celebration: a new holiday Short Shakespeare adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream “re-seasoned” and transformed for the winter into A Midwinter Night’s Dream!
Set in a magical winter-wonderland forest filled with fantastical fairies, sprites and legendary creatures, this Midwinter Night’s Dream, cuts through the centuries to bring audiences a fresh, moment-by-moment take, designed to flow as effortlessly for contemporary audiences as Shakespeare’s beloved classic played to the Elizabethans. A glittering, sparkling holiday gift from PSC to audiences, this enchanting and spell-binding production will delight audiences of all ages.
Directed by PSC Artistic Director Guy Roberts and starring PSC Associate Artists Jessica Boone, Elissa Levitt, Stephan Wolfert, Dawn Stern, Jeffrey Smith, Renee Lamari, Begum Burian alongside other PSC favorites and participants of the 2024-25 Winter Shakespeare Intensive from PSC.
