FREE ADMISSION

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in 1595/96. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta, the former queen of the Amazons. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.

Bring a blanket and enjoy an outdoor performance of a beloved classic. Follow the misadventures of four young lovers, a group of aspiring actors, and a team of mischievous fairies as they enter the woods on a summer night. Presented in partnership with the SF Shakespeare Festival.

Please note the following list of items that are allowed and prohibited at the event:

• Blankets and picnic baskets are welcome.
• The show producers have low-to-the-ground legless deck chairs for elderly/disabled if an attendee did not bring one and needs one (note: these don’t always work well for all elderly/disabled).
• You can bring your own chair, but we request that you locate it to the side or rear of the lawn in consideration of fellow attendees.
• Shade structures (umbrellas, pop up tents, pup tents) are not allowed.
