UC Davis students are mounting a production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream this week and next in the arboretum.

Last week’s Dateline inadvertently excluded some of the performance dates. In fact, the play opened the night of May 14, and subsequent performances are scheduled as follows on the Wyatt Deck along Old Davis Road:

Today (May 15), May 16, 17, 21, 22 and 23 — All at 8 p.m.

May 24 — 2 p.m.

The 30 players and crew members are from Studio 301 Productions, UC Davis’ only independent student theater group.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy about four young lovers, an amateur acting troupe, and their interactions with the principals of a high-society wedding and with the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest.

The cost is $10 general admission, $8 for students and $7 for children, payable when you come to any of the performances (cash only, please).

For seat reservations, e-mail Studio301Productions@gmail.com with your name, contact information and number of seats requested; or call (408) 838-7551.
