A Midsummer Night's Dream 2026

Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream

This July, spend an atmospheric summer evening in the open-air Palm Court at the Lyndhurst Greenhouse as M&M Performing Arts performs William Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy – with a groovy 1960s spin!

A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be performed under the stunning metal skeleton of our 1880s Gothic Greenhouse, with food and drinks available to either pre-order or purchase on-site. You can catch some rays and enjoy the flower power of young lovers falling comically in and out of love, as a blundering troupe of squares falls under the spell of some far-out forest fairies.

Performances are 90 minutes without an intermission and are appropriate for ages 8 and up. At 7:00 pm, the audience will gather in front of the Greenhouse and proceed to the Palm Court, where seating will be provided. A tent will be used for inclement weather as the performances are rain or shine.

For a higher-priced ticket, you can pre-order a choice of summer picnic fare and a bottle of water up to 48 hours in advance. There will be a CASH-ONLY concession stand on-site for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The concession stand will be selling cheese boards, wine by the glass, and beer.
