    “Give me your hands if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends.” Robin “Puck” Goodfellow

    In this roller-disco remix of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, neon Athens pulses to synth-pop as four tangled lovers skate into a forest ruled by sparkling fairies and mischief. Oberon and Titania feud fabulously, glam-rock Puck stirs glittery chaos, and a troupe of bumbling actors sets the stage for Bottom’s transformation into a disco-donkey heartthrob. With mirror balls, mistaken identities, and enchanted love spun to an ‘80s beat, the magic breaks at dawn as everyone grooves into their glittery finale.

    Performance Dates: July 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, & 27

    Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays: Performance at 7:30 pm

    Sundays: Performances at 2:00 pm

    Location: Art Court Theatre, Sacramento City College, located closest to 12th Ave. & Parking Lot K.

    Advisory: This production uses strobe lights, loud 80’s music, and a disco ball.

    Your visit: The theatre temperatures can vary as we have larger audiences – with this in mind, it is recommended that you bring a light jacket just in case it gets too cold, or a hand fan (no electric devices) to cool if it is too warm. We do not have direct control over the system and a call-in may not always solve it in time. Doors and house open 30 minutes prior to curtain.
