Designed by Elsa Conway class of 2024

On November 4th and 5th the Arlington High School (AHS) Drama Guild production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will cast its spell at 869 Massachusetts Avenue (see ticket information below).

Next Titania, Queen of the Fairies, falls under the enchantment and lavishes her affection on Nick Bottom, a country-bumpkin temporarily transformed into a donkey. This descent into chaos begins when Oberon, King of the Fairies, orders his impish servant, Puck, to deliver the potion, but by the final act, to invoke another of Shakespeare’s works, all’s well that ends well.
