A ROCKIN’ Midsummer Night’s Dream

April 10 – 26, 2026

Experience a brand new take on William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy. Journey from ancient Athens, into the woods, and back again, as we follow impassioned lovers, hilarious rustics, fantastical spirits, and feuding royalty in this magical, rock-and-roll rendition of one of the greatest and most-performed plays of all time. Dreams become
reality, reality becomes fantasy, and love restores balance in an otherwise chaotic world in this modern musical adaptation that is predominantly word-for-word Shakespeare’s text. This production also celebrates another first-time collaboration, onstage and backstage, with University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. With a phenomenal, eclectic score that ranges from power ballads to hysterical rock-opera rhapsodies, this show promises equal parts laughter and love story, showcasing some of the greatest words that quill pen ever set to paper.
Recommended for ages 6 and up.
