Free Shakespeare in the Park Series – A Midsummer Night’s DreamSunday, August 23, 2026
2:00 PM
A fully costumed version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” has been created by Studio Theatre of Long Island Shakespeare Troupe for Islip Arts Council. This limited engagement will be performed FREE beginning in July 2026 at locations and dates to be announced.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy play written by William Shakespeare between the years 1594 and 1596. The play is set in Athens and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and widely performed plays
Shakespeare in the Park is made possible through a grant from the Suffolk County Cultural Omnibus Funding.
