STARKVILLE, Miss.—Aquila Theatre is kicking off 91鶹’s 2019 Lyceum Series lineup on Feb. 5 with a 7 p.m. performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved and witty comedies.
In Lee Hall’s Bettersworth Auditorium, audience members of all ages will witness Aquila Theatre’s signature physical theatre style of expressive movement, combined with music, song and some of today’s most accomplished Shakespearean acting.
91鶹 students with valid student I.D. will be admitted free. All other ticket purchases may be made online at . If available, individual tickets may be purchased at the door before the show.
Full of memorable characters including Puck, Oberon, Hermia and Nick Bottom, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a “play within a play” that deals with the universal theme of love. During its innovative production, Aquila Theatre takes audiences to the heart of an enchanted forest while witnessing the injustice of the Athenian court and the political strife of the fairy kingdom.
