      Faries tale

      With weather this magical, it’s worth heading down to Granville Island for A Midsummer Night’s Dream—Carousel Theatre for Young People’s summer teen-Shakespeare offering. Not only is the stage outdoors, but the all-ages production features a festival village, concession, and kid-friendly activities both beforehand and during intermission. Mike Stack directs a cast of 18 young actors, aged 13 to 18, in the classic tale of fairies, mischievous servants, and a man with a donkey’s head. Did we mention admission is free? Remember that premium seating is available for $6 in advance. 

      Carousel Theatre for Young People presents A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the outdoor stage by Performance Works from Friday (July 27) to August 11.
