A Midsummer Night's Dream
2026-07-31 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-08-01 17:30 - 19:00, 2026-08-02 17:30 - 19:00, 2026-08-07 18:30 - 20:00, 2026-08-08 17:30 - 19:00, 2026-08-09 05:30 - 19:00 | Historic London Town & Garden, 839 Londontown Road, Edgewater, Maryland, 21037
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be an interactive outdoor Shakespeare show in the Gardens. Shakespeare is at his most playfully chaotic, as four young lovers wander into the woods, where a group of fairies—who really should not be in charge of anything—decide to intervene in their relationships. Thanks to one well-meaning but unreliable sprite, everyone ends up briefly in love with the wrong person. Meanwhile, a troupe of very sincere (and very untalented) actors attempts to stage a play. By morning, things are mostly sorted out, dignity is lightly bruised, and the whole experience feels a bit like a dream no one can quite explain.
This interactive, fun, outdoor production will be staged at Historic London Town & Gardens in Edgewater, MD, produced in partnership with Compass Rose Theater featuring its student actors ages 10-18.
Patrons are invited to bring a blanket (or reserve a chair), dress in character, and bring or purchase fairy wings or crowns at the event and be part of the show!
