Join SSA this fall for our production of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Join us as we enter the magical realm of Titania and Oberon, where not all is at it seems. From Shakespeare.org, "Four Athenians run away to the forest only to have Puck the fairy make both of the boys fall in love with the same girl. The four run through the forest pursuing each other while Puck helps his master play a trick on the fairy queen. In the end, Puck reverses the magic, and the two couples reconcile and marry."
