Unrequited love and mischievous fairies collide on a starry night in one of William Shakespeare's most-loved comedies, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with the inaugural season of Shakespeare in Prescott Park in summer 2011. 

This magical piece, performed against the stunning backdrop of the Piscataqua River, was staged outdoors on Prescott Park Arts Festival’s stage (the set of Wizard of Oz) and had three days of gorgeous weather.
