The Classical Theatre of Harlem presents Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream starring comedian Russell Peters for the summer 2024 Uptown Shakespeare in the Park.
This production of A Midsummer Night's Dream transports audiences to the height of the Harlem Renaissance, where four young lovers, a troupe of rude mechanicals and mischievous fairies find themselves entangled in a web of romantic chaos within a mystical forest.
Having sold-out arenas around the world, including MSG and Barclays Center, this performance will mark Peters' stage and Shakespearean debut. This production was made possible by the generous support of Wendell Pierce.
Show Notes: Seats are not guaranteed with reservations.
Audience Advisory: CTH shows go on rain or shine, so it's always best to assume the show will perform as scheduled. In the event of rain, the start of the performance may be delayed; however, the performance will begin as soon as it is possible to do so. Performances may also pause for sudden changes in weather, but will resume as soon as weather permits. We will only cancel in extreme weather conditions, and will post alerts on our website and on social media with as much notice as possible.
