Shakespeare’s comedy becomes a neon-lit festival of young lovers, fairies, music, mischief, and transformation. The performance runs about 2 hours 20 minutes with intermission.
Every performance is open-captioned. Free lawn seating requires no reservation; families may bring blankets, chairs, modest food, layers, and insect repellent. Rental chairs and reserved donor seating are optional. Parents should review the play when considering younger children.
