SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream (Shakespeare On The Common)
DESCRIPTION:Young lovers escape to a wonderland of freedom and desire\, drawn together and torn apart by forces they can’t quite control in Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s 30th Anniversary production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s classic comedy is transported to a neon-lit festival escape\, where rules dissolve and self-expression blossoms. \nThe air pulses with music\, mystery\, and mischief as Puck (The Skivvies’ Nick Cearley) and his fairy band move like shadowy DJs of fate\, remixing hearts with a single drop of enchanted nectar. Every corner of the festival grounds hums with temptation\, transformation\, and the electric thrill of love and community. \nDirected by CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler\, this Free Shakespeare on the Common production runs July 22 through August 9\, 2026\, at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common\, presented in partnership with the City of Boston\, Mayor Michelle Wu\, Boston Parks and Recreation\, and the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.

SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream (Shakespeare On The Common)
DESCRIPTION:Young lovers escape to a wonderland of freedom and desire\, drawn together and torn apart by forces they can’t quite control in Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s 30th Anniversary production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s classic comedy is transported to a neon-lit festival escape\, where rules dissolve and self-expression blossoms. \nThe air pulses with music\, mystery\, and mischief as Puck (The Skivvies’ Nick Cearley) and his fairy band move like shadowy DJs of fate\, remixing hearts with a single drop of enchanted nectar. Every corner of the festival grounds hums with temptation\, transformation\, and the electric thrill of love and community. \nDirected by CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler\, this Free Shakespeare on the Common production runs July 22 through August 9\, 2026\, at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common\, presented in partnership with the City of Boston\, Mayor Michelle Wu\, Boston Parks and Recreation\, and the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.
