A feuding king and queen unleash magical jokes on one another, spells yield improbable love affairs and a band of comical tradespeople wander into an enchanted wood and are transformed in the most unlikely ways. Enjoy a walk around historic downtown Lowell on a midsummer's evening and watch Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring comedy about love, fairies, and magic unfold around you.

​

Adapted by Studio 506 as part of their collaboration with DIY Lowell's first A Midsummer's Dream Festival, happening throughout downtown Lowell during the midsummer month. The festival also features a sidewalk Pixie-themed market, a fairy house exhibition, a costume contest, and storytelling.

​

This production, and entire festival, is in dedication of Many Lee Pho - founder of Little Delights Bakery and pillar of the Lowell small business community. Read more here.
