This summer, Elm’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream reimagines the fairy world through South Asian folklore. Join us for a cross-cultural, intergenerational conversation with community members, immigrants, and the creative team about what it means to see yourself — and your stories — on stage.
Elm Shakespeare Company invites you to gather under the stars for A Midsummer Night’s Dream—a joyous, glittering, heart-opening celebration of love, laughter, and transformation. Reimagined through the vibrant lens of Bollywood and brought to life by an international creative team, this free production bursts with music, movement, color, and delight.
Shakespeare’s plays were written for an all-male acting tradition, but modern performance reexamines gender through casting and interpretation. Lisa Wolpe, an internationally recognized scholar-practitioner, will lead a workshop exploring how translation extends beyond language into performance and identity.
Shakespeare’s words are beautiful—but can be baffling. Want to understand what’s really going on in those poetic lines? Join Elm Shakespeare Company’s Artistic Director, Rebecca Goodheart, for a fun, interactive evening exploring how the Bard’s words were designed to come alive on stage.
