About A Midsummer Night's Dream: The Lovers' Tale

Milwaukee’s free Shakespeare in the Park returns to live, in-person performances with a traveling outdoor production. The touring show will use a mobile set designed specifically for the company and allow Optimist to truly bring free Shakespeare to the community by visiting up to 14 neighborhoods, primarily in the greater Milwaukee area. Shows will take place afternoons and early evenings on weekends only, beginning July 24-25 and running through Labor Day weekend.

The Lovers' Tale is a 75-minute version of the play, focusing on the four lovers and the fairies Puck and Oberon, and will run without intermission. The script originated with the 1976 Arden version and was edited by M.L. Cogar, Optimist Theatre’s Dramaturg, who will co-direct along with Tom Reed, Optimist’s Associate Artistic Director.
