Delaware Shakespeare Festival celebrates its 10th season of the Bard under the stars with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the first under new artistic director David Stradley. A cast of the Philadelphia area’s up-and-coming professional actors (such as Adam Altman of Iron Age Theatre and Tiny Dynamite, Caroline Crocker of the Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre and Inis Nua’s Sarah Van Auken) performs with historic Rockwood Park as their backdrop. There’s no more appropriate play for a July evening than Shakespeare’s spry romantic comedy complicated by mischievous forest fairies, illustrating the timeless observation that “the course of true love never did run smooth.”
Through July 28, $10-$15, Rockwood Park, 610 Shipley Road, Wilmington, DE., 302-415-3373, delshakes.org.
