As the summer solstice approaches, celebrate with Young Performers Theatre’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Take advantage of those long summer days by spending some time on the waterfront visiting cafes, art galleries, the Off the Grid Friday-night food truck festival, and a family-friendly version of Shakespeare’s classic comedy.

Laugh when the mischievous elf Puck plays one too many tricks and gets tricked himself. Enjoy the antics of Bottom and his crew of merry players and gasp in wonder when he wakes up to find himself transformed into an object of love and ridicule. Journey from Theseus’ palace in Athens to the magical wood where fairies, sprites, and spirits play and discover “what fools these mortals be!”
