Portland Ballet is proud to present one of Shakespeare’s most enchanted stories–A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Witness how dancers gracefully articulate this whimsical tale of mischievous fairies and lovelorn couples! Set to a euphonic score by Mendelssohn, the dancers of Portland Ballet bring this timeless tale to life with abundant charm, a little comedy, and plenty of grandeur.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream will run coupled with Nell Shipman’s contemporary work Impetus, which first premiered in 2021.

Dress up as your favorite animal or come as you are, but don't miss it! The 2026 Earth Day Festival in Brunswick will bring together community members of all ages in the midcoast Maine region to celebrate Earth and explore practical ways to protect our environment. The Earth Day Festival in Brunswick is being held on the first Saturday after April 22, the day the first Earth Day was organized in 1970.
