A Midsummer Night’s Dream*

by William Shakespeare

Previews July 6, 7, 8

Shakespeare’s #1 Comedy!

The Story

The perfect show for families — come experience the joy as the mischievous Puck turns the world upside-down for the quartet of lovers, not to mention the crazed, ass-headed Bottom. Come laugh as they are driven to wild antics in the forest…all while you enjoy the peaceful setting of the western suburb’s premier forest preserve.

“Ideal for the sylvan backdrop of Oak Brook’s Peabody Estate grounds…seems to speak directly to the trees and moonlight.”
Chicago Sun-Times

Thank You

During these troubling times, we recognize that art is more vital than ever in helping us share our collective stories. And yet, it is also a time when creating and sharing that art has become more difficult. First Folio Theatre is grateful to all of the donors and supporters whose generosity is helping us to weather these winds.
