The Play

PLG Arts Presents Free Performances for Children of All Ages in Prospect Park: Daydream; A Short Version of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream; Photography by Renee Elias Reyes

Annual production of PLG Arts' production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Daydream adapted for children of all ages, from pre-school on up. When a group of construction workers come to rehearse a play in the Imagination Playground in Prospect Park - they stumble into a battle between the King and Queen of the Fairies. Magic, puppets, hard hats & safety vests - what more could any Brooklyn kid want? (Those from other boroughs are welcome!) And don't forget to stick around afterwards for the children's activity or bring your kids' bathing suits for a splash in the dragon fountain after the play. Note: seating is on the ground.

"This is can't miss children's theatre that Shakespeare lovers will truly appreciate."
-Matt Freeman, NYTheatre.com
