"This is low budget Shakespeare—some benches, a few props, light costumes, and on/off lighting—but director Jonathan Hopkins serves up a fresh and funny vision brimming with spectacular performances (notably Corey Whelihan as Nick Bottom) by a uniformly talented cast in an enchanting, urban atmosphere...Joe Papp was on to something when he first dreamed of doing Shakespeare in public parks; there is nothing like it...Sublime and joyful production."

"It’s the perfect dose of light-hearted magic for a summer night...This midsummer night’s production is more than just enchanting to watch. The company and director Jonathan Hopkins have mined the play for emotional nuance...The production is lots of fun, and never does it take itself too seriously. But the show sets itself apart with the vivacity of the characters and an attention to detail that should put it on the top of your list of Shakespeare to see this summer."
