SNOW HILL– Arts on the River First Friday in Snow Hill welcomes the Brown Box Theatre Project of Boston on Sept. 6, for the opening of the Eastern Shore series. For this performance in Sturgis Park by the Pocomoke River, the Brown Box Theatre presents a magical interpretation of Shakespeare's “A Midsummer Night's Dream” as its third annual Free Shakespeare.

Bring a beach chair or blanket and journey with them into the forest to explore the mysticism of happiness as the lovers and mechanicals of Athens stumble into the kingdom of feuding fairies and mischievous sprites.  The staging for the performance is under the stars along the riverfront. 

Marking the third annual Free Shakespeare at the Beach, “A Midsummer Night's Dream” will be their largest production to date. Including two weekends of performances in the Boston area, followed by three weeks of tours all over Maryland and Delaware, “A Midsummer Night's Dream” will provide free access to Shakespeare's most beloved comedy to audiences of all ages. Performance begins at 7 p.m. The covered pavilion at Sturgis Park makes this a “rain or shine” event.

First Fridays are sponsored by Arts on the River, Snow Hill’s Art
and Entertainment District, the Worcester County Arts Council and the Maryland State Arts Council. For more information, call 410-632 2080.
