What happens when love gets a little… complicated? 💘

In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, four lovers, a troupe of actors, and a world of mischievous fairies collide in a magical forest where nothing goes as planned.

With a sprinkle of fairy dust and a dash of chaos (thanks, Puck 😏), this ballet is full of humor, heart, and stunning visuals.

📅 May 16 & 17
🎟️ Don’t miss this timeless tale brought to life on stage!
