The upcoming play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will take the stage at CSULB's Studio Theatre March 13-21, according to the CSULB Theatre Arts Department website. William Shakespeare's play will be directed by Elizabeth Swain and performed by the University Players.

General admission is $15, but students and seniors will only have to pay $12 to see the show. You can purchase tickets online by accessing the link provided in this post, by phone at (562) 985-5526 or at the box office at the theater building.

The website describes "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as "Shakespeare's mystical romp. Comedy, romance...and fairies."

David Cowan, a theater student, believes that the indoor play may not impress as much as it would if it were performed outdoors. He explained that he had performed the play outside with his theater group, because the show takes place in the woods.

The play holds "a magical quality," he said. "But it might be lost by having [the play] indoors. Hopefully it will be good."

Information about the play can be found here.
