A Midsummer Night's Dream

It’s 1942 in Athens, Illinois. The U.S has just entered the Second World War, and many couples are rushing to marry before serving their country.

Mayor Theseus and beauty queen Hippolyta plan to marry within four days. Lysander and Hermia elope to the forest to avoid Hermia’s unsympathetic father.

Demetrius runs after them in hopes of stealing Hermia’s heart away from Lysander.

The distraught but ever loyal Helena pursues Demetrius, hoping to win her former beau back.

Meanwhile a group of terrible actors heads to the forest to rehearse a play for the mayor’s wedding day. But the forest is a busy place!

Fairy royalty Oberon and Titania are in a horrible fight, and Oberon’s plan to get back at Titania goes hilariously awry. With a little help from the mischievous Puck, soon the forest is abuzz —everyone seems to have an unlikely new love interest and the actors have lost their lead player! What will become of this mischief on a midsummer’s night?
