WISCONSIN SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

The Wisconsin Shakespeare Festival believes in the power of words and the stories they tell. Our exuberant celebration of brilliant theatre seeks to ignite a spark to empower and inspire artists, as well as enlighten and connect audiences and the community.

Our Festival is built on the values of engagement, growth, creativity, and community and has five major components: presenting quality mainstage shows, elevating playwrights and their ideas through our Improbable Fiction new works series, creating mentorship opportunities for aspiring artists in our Merely Players young performers’ troupe, supporting lifelong education initiatives with our classes and workshops for those K-12 and beyond, and engaging with our local theatre community and the community at large.

We are committed to celebrating theatre and our community through our programs and partnerships, and want this Festival to feel as though it belongs as much to as our neighbors and partners as it does to us. We sincerely thank you for engaging with us through attending this performance!

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

One of William Shakespeare’s classic comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a story of order and disorder, reality and appearance, and love and marriage. “The course of true love never did run smooth,” and when the feuding king and queen of the fairies interfere in the mercurial romances of mortals, the result is magical mayhem. Leave it to the roguish Puck, impish fairies, young lovers, and bumbling would-be actors to create pure pandemonium!

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies and contains Shakespeare’s usual innuendo. The play is suitable for all audiences.

When not on the stage, Dylan is an avid music listener, Yu-Gi-Oh! player, and gaming enthusiast, their most recent addiction being the new Legend of Zelda game: Tears of the Kingdom. If you see Dylan walking down the street, don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation! They’d love to meet some new faces, as well as talk your ear off about any nerdy subject you’re interested in.
