Indian Boundary Park and Cultural Center, 2500 W. Lunt Ave., proudly presents its version of William Shakespeare's classic "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for four performances, May 28 and 29 as well as June 4 and 5, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 and will be sold at the door.
Directed by drama instructor Vito Gioia, this family friendly fairy tale of love and magic is the perfect way to celebrate the coming of summer. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a complex farce that involves two sets of couples (Hermia and Lysander, and Helena and Demetrius) whose romantic intrigues are confused and complicated still further by entering the forest where Oberon, the King of the Fairies, and his Queen, Titania, preside. Puck (or Robin Goodfellow) is a major character who is full of mischief and tricks. Other visitors to the enchanted forest include Bottom the weaver and his friends Snug, Snout, Quince and Flute who want to rehearse their dire but hilarious rendering of the play "Pyramus and Thisbe." The play illustrates love triumphing in the end and the pleasure of dreaming the impossible dream.
