A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TPB is pleased to bring John Clifford’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/em> back to Lincoln Hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Portland Ballet presents John Clifford’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/em>, a witty confection of a ballet, danced to Felix Mendelssohn’s beautiful music. There will be two performances at the PSU Lincoln Performance Hall on May 11th at 1:00pm and 5:00pm. This amusing and elegant adaptation of Shakespeare\u2019s comedy showcases a variety of challenging choreography: the fleet-footedness of fairies, the antics of rustics, as well as the style and grace of nobility. The magic begins with excited buzzing in the enchanted forest and ends with a grand  pas de deux <\/em>to celebrate a royal wedding. Along the way, fairies feud and stir up mischief, a merry buffoon turns into a donkey, and the queen of the fairies falls in love with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
