That line, taken from Will Shakespeare's 1595 fantasy A Midsummer Night's Dream, is a perfect way to sum up this romantic comedy which deals with love and how foolish we can be in the name of it.
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
Muncie Civic Theatre will continue its 75th anniversary season with A Midsummer Night's Dream, opening Friday, March 3, at the historic downtown theater.
Midsummer is a complex series of intertwining plotlines that involve two sets of couples (Hermia and Lysander, and Helena and Demetrius) whose romantic cross-purposes are complicated still further by their entrance into the play's fairyland woods where the King and Queen of the Fairies (Oberon and Titania) preside and the impish folk character of Puck or Robin Goodfellow plies his trade. Less subplot than a brilliant satirical device, another set of characters -- Bottom the weaver and his bumptious band of "rude mechanicals" -- stumble into the main doings when they go into the same enchanted woods to rehearse a play that is very loosely (and comically) based on the myth of Pyramus and Thisbe.
Directed by Muncie Civic Education Director Marty Grubbs, the play features performances by Sean Christian Smith, Erika Garringer, Jerry Cole, Judy Cole, Corey Mills, Nathan Smith, Elizabeth Ratchford, Lisa Walker, Zack Spurgeon, Zack Smith, Jonathon Kratzner, Ric Van Skyock, Joe Skeen, Sean Orlaski and Charles Retherford.

--The Star Press
A magical story of star-crossed lovers, overly ambitious homespun clowns and misadventures with the fairies. The action begins at the beautiful court of Theseus, Duke of Athens, and later moves to the mystical forest inhabited by Oberon and Titania, king and queen of the fairies. And don't forget Puck - fairyland was never like this! This fantastical envisioning features members of the Muncie Ballet Studio.
