A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare
Spells are cast, lovers are fooled and revelry abounds as worlds collide in Shakespeare's imaginative comedy. On a night when anything can happen, young lovers rouse the mischievous curiosity of fairies, who use their charms to lead them into a playful midnight frolic through the forest. In the midst of it all, a local acting troupe gets caught up in the chaos when a magic spell turns its leading man into a donkey. One of Shakespeare's best known comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream blurs the line between magic and reality, leading to a night so fantastical that you'll have to dream it to believe it.

Sunday in the Park with George
One of only seven musicals to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama, Stephen Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park with George" brings to life George Seurat's famous painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte." Seurat immerses himself wholly in his art, unable to commit to anything or anyone else-including his mistress, Dot. Later, George of the 20th century struggles to find inspiration and beauty in a modernized world. In this fictionalized acount of Seurat's life, Sondheim explores the tension between loving the art we create and connecting with the people who inspire us and illuminating the joy and emotional cost of creating great art.
