Interlochen Shakespeare Festival: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Thursday June 28, Friday June 29, and Saturday June 30 at 8pm
Watching A Midsummer Night's Dream presented by the Interlochen Shakespeare Festival is the perfect way to end a summer evening. Now in its fifth year the performers are made up of Interlochen faculty, staff and alumni who are dedicated to performing professional theatre that "celebrates the Shakespearean imagination" according to the Interlochen website. The production of A Midsummer Night's Dream will be held outdoors in Interlochen's new Upton-Morley Pavilion, so it really is a "Midsummer Night's Dream."
Tickets are $26 and can be purchased online (https://tickets.interlochen.org/)
Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers: An Evening of Bluegrass and Comedy
Friday June 29 at 8pm
Steve Martin has managed to weave the two worlds of music and comedy into a perfect medley. His comedic wit and his banjo picking skills are all a part of his collaboration with the Grammy-nominated North Carolina band, the Steep Canyon Rangers. His Interlochen stop is an early part of his tour, but so far the reviews have been nothing but glowing. Joel Francis from the Kansas City Star said that it was difficult to tell if his performance, "was a comedy show hijacked by bluegrass music or the other way around. Either way, it was a success."
The performance is this Friday so call the box office today at 800.681.5920 to see if tickets are still available!
