"'Midsummer' extended at STNJ

Release from the Shakespeare Theatre follows regarding the extended run of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Seriously, folks, if you've never been to the magnificent outdoor Greek Theatre at the College of St. Elizabeth, that alone should put it on your destination list. The outdoor show here has been one of the highlights of my summer for the last six years. And bring a picnic.--you can even bring your food and wine inside and claim some extra space (at least if its not too crowded, but they even let people do that on a crowded opening night), or picnic before the show on the lawn.

And it's a cheap ticket for a show that's every bit as good as the mainstage shows that people willingly pay a lot more for.
Release follows:
"Due to popular demand The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey announces a week-long, 5 performance extension of A Midsummer Night's Dream on its Outdoor Stage
