What better way to celebrate Illinois Shakespeare Festival’s 40th
anniversary than with ISF’s magical, musical, and imaginative
interpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream? This family-friendly
production of Shakespeare’s world-famous comedy follows four
young lovers into an enchanted forest for an unforgettable journey
of trickery, laughter, and love. Featured in this production is a
musical Puck, whose original score is sure to cast a spell on you!
Ewing Theatre
Individual show tickets also available via Ticketmaster.com.
Additional service fees apply.
Cymbeline is one of Shakespeare’s most fantastical plays, making it
a perfect fit for our magical 40th! A brilliant princess, an evil queen,
a misguided king, and a thoroughly rotten clown are just some of
the characters in this fairy tale romance. The production is made
even more whimsical and theatrical by Chris Coleman’s six-person
adaptation, in which five actors and a musician play all the parts.
Ewing Theatre
You asked, and we listened! The Q Brothers dazzled audiences in 2015
with Q Gents, a hilarious hip-hop adaption of Two Gentlemen of Verona.
It is a delight to include their latest creation, I Heart Juliet, in our 40th
anniversary season. This time with 10 actors, the Q Brothers Collective
is at it again. They bring incredible energy, humor, and hip-hop verse to
Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Romeo & Juliet.
