The Central Wisconsin Area Community Theater will present Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on Aug. 21 and 22.

It’s the organization’s first in-person event since February 2020, according to a press release from cwACT.

The production will be held at 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Aug. 21 and at 2 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Schmeeckle Reserve Pankowski Friends Amphitheater.

Shakespeare’s comedy tells a story of four young lovers whose romances become entangled in magical mishaps as they learn what it means to be in love and in lust, which director Susan Edgren called “a celebration of love and life.”

cwACT’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is the first of the “Schmeeckle Shakes” series of outside performances that cwACT will host at the newly renovated Schmeeckle Nature Center.

Audience members will need to bring their own chairs and/or blankets. Tickets are $8 for children and $12 for adults and can be purchased here.
