Bring a blanket or low chair and picnic fare... and enjoy a Shakespeare play in the open air. Hip to Hip Theatre Company presents its version of Shakespeare's kid-friendliest comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Before the show, a free interactive workshop is offered for children ages 4 to 12. It gives children a chance to interact with the text by previewing the characters and situations, and creating links between the text and their own lives through theatre games and close reading of text.
