Cure the mid-winter doldrums with a
mid-summer night's fantasy!
From Salt Lake City
Weekly...
"...A Midsummer Night’s Dream, currently playing
at Pioneer Theatre Company, is the perfect antidote to the conspicuous cardboard
hearts still hanging over the seasonal aisle at your local grocery store!" (Read

"Lucky for us, it’s all done masterfully. PTC gets all of the elements right, keeping this
well-known piece simultaneously fresh and familiar...With no weak links,
PTC’s Midsummer Night’s Dream is as much fun as a good, old-fashioned
moonlight romp in the woods. Well, maybe not quite—but it’s as close as we’re
going to get until the weather warms up!"
From The Deseret
Morning News...
" The Pioneer Theatre Company
production of "Midsummer Night's Dream" is pretty and fanciful and bold." (Read
more...)
"In costuming and in casting, the [PTC] production highlights the
similarities between the men and the differences between the women. It gets you
thinking about why we choose the people we choose...In short, if you think you've seen "Midsummer Night's
Dream" enough times, well you haven't."
From Salt Lake
Magazine...
"Pioneer Theatre Company’s 2008
production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
excellently directed by Paul Barnes, is a satisfying rendition of this
crowd-pleasing standby." (Read

"The stage direction and choreography of the whole play
were stunning—literally. With a wave of their hands, the fairies who populate
the stage arrested the movement of the beings—
mortal and otherwise—around them.
The actors’ whiz-crack timing was so convincing, it almost seemed like spells
were truly shooting around the stage...Their version includes a lot of physical
comedy and mimed gags, which not only add to the levity of this already fluffy
play, they also aid comprehension for patrons less familiar with the genre—perfect for Shakespeare lovers and haters
alike."
Don't miss this
magical performance, closing March 1st.
