The City of Fairfax Theatre Company Presents
William Shakespeare's
A Midsummer Nights Dream
Directed by Adam Ressa
Deep in an enchanted forest, four young lovers brawl over each other's affections, a troop of actors prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime, while mischievous sprites play tricks on them all. Magic, madness, mayhem, and of course, love intertwine as William Shakespeare’s raucous comedy comes to life in our first "Shakespeare in the City of Fairfax" at Veterans Amphitheater.
Midsummer Night’s Dream runs approximately 75 minutes without intermission.
$20 for adults
$15 for students
Individual ticket sales are not allowed.
Tickets will be automatically refunded if the performance is cancelled due to inclement weather.
Tickets must be purchased in groups by ONE purchaser from the household to reserve the square. Squares are 10x10 feet and are spaced 10 feet apart from each other, and 10 feet from the available benches. Please note that there are NO tables or chairs included, except for areas 22-27 on the park benches. Each "table" is a marked spot on the lawn.
Due to the limitations of ticketleap, we are not able to remove “seats” available in a 4-6 person spot if 4 tickets have already been purchased by a party. Ticketleap may show that there are 2 seats available, but parties are not allowed to be mixed. Your tickets will be refunded if you purchase empty seats in a square that has already been claimed by a group. Spots 2, 4 and 5 have prime shade and are ONLY available for parties of six, or for a smaller group that purchases six full tickets.
