A Midsummer Night Redux

Two years ago, just four days before opening night, the COVID-19 pandemic put the kibosh on the Mendocino College production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This past fall, director Reid Edelman reconvened the original cast, replacing some who had moved on. The costumes were modified and the set reassembled. And now, the cast of 24 local players is ready to perform Shakespeare’s famous comedy at Mendocino College in Ukiah. Performances begin with a “pay what you wish” preview on February 3 at 7:30 p.m.  Additional shows will be held at 7:30 p.m. on February 4–5 and 10–12, and at 2 p.m. on February 13. Admission is $20 or $15 for students and seniors; tickets for the February 10 show are $10 for everyone. Purchase tickets at the Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah, online at artsmendocino.org, and at the door. A mask, valid ID, and proof of full vaccination will be required to enter the theater.
