Dec. 6, 2021 — The Collin Theatre Center puts a twist on Shakespeare’s beloved “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” transporting it to the Summer of Love for a few magical nights of puckish delights, Dec. 8-12 at Collin College’s Plano Campus.
Enjoy the Bard’s tale of befuddled lovers, mischievous fairies, and rude mechanicals, staged in a groovy 1968 setting. One of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works, the play explores love, marriage, and the differences between reality and appearance in a delightfully twisted tale.
The production is directed by professor Joanne Zipay, who founded and served as artistic director of New York City’s Judith Shakespeare Company for 20 years, from 1995-2015.
Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 8-11 and at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 11-12 in the Plano Campus Black Box Theatre. Tickets are free for students and $10 for all others. Tickets can be purchased at http://collin.universitytickets.com. The Plano Campus is located at 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway in Plano.
