Franklin College presents its play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday.

As Duke Theseus prepares to marry Hippolyta, four young Athenians find themselves tangled in a forest filled with love, jealousy and mistaken identities. Meanwhile, a group of bumbling amateur actors rehearse a play for the wedding celebration, only to become part of the night’s whimsical chaos. Overseeing the mischief are Oberon and Titania, the fairy king and queen, whose quarrel and magical interventions spark hilarious confusion and transformation. Mixing romance, fantasy and humor, Shakespeare’s timeless play explores the unpredictable nature of love and the thin line between reality and dreams. 

General admission is $15. Seniors (age 55+), students under 18 and students from other colleges may attend for $10 per performance. Franklin College students, faculty and staff receive free admission with a valid Franklin College ID.
