Rhythm of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream" christens APT's rebuilt stage

SPRING GREEN — Drums beat first, like the thunderous heartbeat of the surrounding forest. Then, voices — shrieking, calling and laughing from afar. In mere moments, all of the merriment and mirth of Athens pours onstage in a whirlwind of youthful dance and free-spirited cheer, signaling the kickoff of American Players Theatre’s 2017 season, and the opening of its production of William Shakespeare’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." This vibrant telling of a mystical fairytale is scheduled to run through October.
Drawn together by an honest Puck and the magical hierarchy presiding, "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" follows the mischief and mishaps that ensue when four lovers, a band of offbeat amateur thespians, and a horde of mischievous fairies find themselves in the same woods.
