Shakespeare returns to Stonington from June 19-29 with a joyous production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” directed by Opera House Arts’ Artistic Director Kathryn Markey. In this beloved comedy, two young couples run away to the mysterious realm of the Fairies. When the trickster Puck enchants them with a magical flower, love stories get muddled, jealousies arise, and a rustic band of amateur actors manages to perform an unforgettable play within the play, proving “what fools these mortals be…” A treat for the whole family, “Midsummer” will feature a fantastical design and a cast of ten.
Shrek the Musical is a hilarious, heartwarming fairy tale where the unexpected shines. Curses are broken, monsters become heroes, donkeys and dragons fall in love, and princesses prove beauty comes in all forms.
Grumpy, green ogre Shrek enjoys his quiet swamp life—until a band of fairy tale misfits invades, fleeing the cruel Lord Farquaad. To reclaim his home, Shrek strikes a deal: rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower so Farquaad can marry her, and the swamp is his again.
On his quest, Shrek discovers Fiona is no ordinary princess, and their journey sparks laughter, adventure, and even love. With dazzling sets, quirky puppetry, and show-stopping numbers, Shrek the Musical brings a beloved story to life, proving happy endings come in all shapes and sizes.
It’s a heartwarming, hilarious celebration of love, acceptance, and the magic of finding your true self—a must-see for dreamers of all ages! Directed by Zack Balkcom, choreography by Kristen MacBride with music direction by Mary Bastoni
