mysteries of the world. Three young streetwise storytellers weave
this magical tale into an easy to understand adventure for audiences

into their 15 minutes of celebrity, observers are transported
through this midsummer night's dream while bedazzled by a devilish
prankster. If you've ever loved, lacked, or feared Shakespeare…now's
the time to take the journey and let it work its magic.
