OSU Bard in the Quad this week
Oregon State University will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the popular Bard in the Quad program with a production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in August.
Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. each night from Aug. 6-9 and Aug. 13-16 in the Memorial Union Quad, 2501 S.W. Jefferson Way, Corvallis.
Bard in the Quad brings innovative Shakespeare productions to Corvallis in a casual, fun summer atmosphere. Performances are held outdoors and no seating is provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring low lawn chairs and/or blankets, warm clothing and even a picnic dinner if desired. Seating begins at 6:30 p.m. and no one will be seated prior to that time.
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a comedy about confusion and love. Four days before their wedding, Duke Theseus and the Amazonian Queen Hippolyta are drawn into the romantic entanglements of four young lovers, a mysterious conflict between the King and Queen of the Fairy World, and the desperate attempts of an eager amateur acting troupe to celebrate the upcoming nuptials. Meanwhile, a maverick sprite on the loose causes chaos throughout Athens and the surrounding woods.
The production will feature dance and a live performance by OSU Chamber Winds, which will present Felix Mendelssohn’s classic score.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for students and seniors, and $5 for OSU students. Purchase tickets at bardinthequad.org or call the OSU Theatre box office, 541-737-2784. A 20 percent discount will be offered on tickets purchased online before July 31.
