Ill Met By Moonlight

Join Madison Ballet for their dazzling season closer; The Bard of Avon's enchanted romantic comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream. With new choreography and set design from Ja' Malik and costumes by Malik and Fernanda Yamaguchi and of course, Felix Mendelssohn's wonderful score, prepare to enter a magical forest where nothing, even true love, is as it seems!

What Is The Story?

A Midsummer Night's Dream focuses on three parallel stories while dealing with the universal theme of love and its complications. It follows the trials of two couples as they camp in a magical forest, the world of the fairy King and Queen who inhabit said forest, and a group of tradesmen attempting to stage a production of 'Pyramus and Thisby' for the wedding of the Duke of Athens. In true Shakespearean comedy style, these stories don't stay separate for long and worlds collide in a spectacularly hilarious fashion. Love, action, magic and comedy mix to create a truly magical spell.
