The road-proven cast of A Midsummer Night's Dream has been traveling since January, transporting this fantastic version of Shakespeare's rowdy comedy to thousands of students across New England, New York and New Jersey. On May 9th, they're coming home for their final performance, to be followed by a Gala Celebration in Josie's Cafe. Tickets are only $10—it's a wonderful way to light up a May night!
Come celebrate the success of the tour and party with this multi-talented, high energy cast along with Fall Festival directors and Visiting Dignitaries.
This special celebration will take place at Shakespeare & Company's Founders' Theatre, 70 Kemble St, Lenox MA, 01240.

On the days after our Midsummer Gala performance our Shakespeare & Young Company performs in Founders' Theatre. Take in this truly devoted and bright troupe of teenagers who have been rehearsing since February. They bring passion and poetry to the language like no one can. The lively performances are family favorites, especially for adolescents.
Saturday's program is "Marina" from Pericles, and "The Law", a look at the law from various pieces of the canon. Sunday's program is "Brave New World" from The Tempest, and "Denmark" from Hamlet. These original pieces are inventive, and particularly engaging ways to discover or renew interest in Shakespeare.
From Romeo and Juliet to Hamlet, no writer has captured the passion and volatility of youth better than Shakespeare. In his words, youth lives eternally. Come applaud our Young Company actors in this special performance of Shakespeare's works. Hear the words with fierce, fiery temperament, and Founders' Theatre echo with the unbridled passion for love, justice and hope, as only teenagers can know it.
