"Midsummer Night's Dream" playing all weekend

Laura Ruchala plays Titania, in this winter's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," playing as part of Miami's Shakespeare in the Park. This weekend, the play is being performed at Shell Lumber (2733 SW 27 Avenue). It opened last night and is playing again tonight, January 28 and Sunday, January 29 at 7:30 pm, both nights. It's free and open to the public.

Colleen Stovall, directed this version of Midsummer. It's very funny and the actors are very engaging. They play to each other as well as the audience. As they zoom up and down the center aisle, it's like you are part of the play yourself.

Shell Lumber is very cozy and a nice breeze came in the open ceiling last night, making it quite enjoyable. People brought picnic baskets along with wine and martinis and they settled in for the production. The play moves to the Amphitheater at Young Circle in Hollywood next weekend, it played at Pinecrest Gardens last weekend. Details at their website here: www.shakespearemiami.com
