The CSUCI Performing Arts Program will present ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ by William Shakespeare as its inaugural production opening on Thursday, April 17 and closing on Saturday, April 19.

Performances will be held in the Library Courtyard on campus (note: this is the courtyard adjacent to the former location of the campus library not the John Spoor Broome Library); the entrance is along Ventura Street. Seating for each evening performance begins at 7:30 p.m. with the play beginning at 8 p.m. Audience members are encouraged to dress warmly as the night air on campus can be misty and cool. Tickets are $15 for the general public, $10 for CSUCI faculty and staff, and free for CSUCI students with identification. A limited amount of chair seating is available, and audience members are encouraged to bring blankets for both warmth and ground seating.

The production features performances, music, and designs by the students of Performing Arts-Theatre 481-Production (Catherine Scott Burriss, instructor), Performing Arts-Dance 458-Dance Ensemble (Carinne Bach, instructor and choreographer), and Art/Performing Arts 383-Scenic Design (Rachel Myers, instructor). This production is directed by Catherine Scott Burriss, Assistant Professor of Performing Arts at CSUCI.

This event is sponsored by Instructionally Related Activities and the Martin V. Smith School of Business & Economics.
