A Midsummer Night's Dream

I am totally broke; but this sounds like it's money well-spent.

Rehearsals are going really well-- it's SO funny

Impact has always put on cool twists to the classics.  Can't wait to go see what they did for Bill's (William's) comedy!

Impact always does good quality, energetic, sexy, relevant theatre.  Break a leg!

Cool!  I love Shakespeare, so I generally don't care for reinterpretations...but this sounds really lovingly altered.  Midsummer Night's Dream is one of my favorites too!

i always mix my pizza and beer with faeries

Something tells me that when you mix beer, pizza, and Shakespeare magic happens!

sounds awesome...i'll be there!

If this is anything like "Ching Chong Chinaman" it'll be AWESOME!

i wanna see this... i'm at ucsc but im down to come back to the bay to see this haha it looks raw

I am sooooo super excited I can't even put it in words. There are so funny mo-fos in the show. I already got my tix folks, jump on it!

A rave from the Daily Cal!

"Impact Theatre takes 'Midsummer' on a wild ride through '80s music, the fads and even a movie reference or two to raucous new heights... Shakespeare's written comedy thrives in the '80s nightclub, but the casting of each character into an '80s staple (punk, metalhead, goth, prep) makes the show even more clever.... The leads are captivating and even the supporting characters are a riot. With the ragtag band of actors, the play-within-a-play at the end is a hilarious climax... Director Melissa Hillman has truly crafted a great show... The adaptation speaks to the timelessness of Shakespeare and the possibility to entertain and amuse an audience of all ages, regardless of their fondness or knowledge of the bard.... Who knew that William Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" would lend itself so well to the rom-com milieu of the 1980s?"

Having pizza and beer while watching Shakespeare?? My kinda place!!!

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the show this Friday!

How late does this show run? Can I take BART and make it home?

Michelle: the show runs until 10:15 or so. You can easily catch BART home. But do make sure to buy tickets in advance -- almost every performance has sold out...

I love Shakespeare so much

Elizaveta: I heard him saying nice things about you, too.

Impact's 80s Midsummer is racking up the raves...

Saw it last night! Great show! Lots of laughs!

I'm totally gonna support my girl Sarah C.

Go see this show! It's fantastic! I've never laughed so much at Shakespear!

This was the best version of Midsummer Night's I've ever seen outside of Ashland.

Fearless and funny interpretation with seriously talented characters!
Theater that doesn't suck!
