A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival
A traveling group of six actors transforms Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into a 90-minute family-friendly event in the Museum’s Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden. This year’s music-filled production is directed by artist Tre’von Griffith with an all-Black cast and creative team.
This program is weather dependent. If the Museum cancels the event, the website will be updated, and the cancellation will be announced on social media (@stlartmuseum).

About TourCo
This stripped-down, actor-centric production features a versatile cast of six, with most tackling multiple roles in one of Shakespeare’s iconic texts. Creating a rich theater of the imagination, they will take the joyous, professional Shakespeare that the Festival is known for to thousands of people who might not otherwise have access to it. This program is designed to challenge audiences across all demographics and regions. This programming is perfect for schools, parks, libraries, civic centers, and wherever people gather to learn, experience, and be inspired together.
In addition to the Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden, the production will be staged for free at various outdoor venues throughout the area this summer as part of the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s 25th anniversary season.
