Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream @ Tacoma Armory
Sep 1 @ 8:00 pm

Guests are invited to bring blankets and low profile beach chairs and make themselves comfortable on the floor, or be seated in our standard chairs provided by the house. Please indicate your preference when reserving tickets.
Tacoma Arts Live invites you to immerse yourself in a unique theatrical experience of Shakespeare’s, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Director Deanna Martinez reinvents this whimsical romantic comedy by rooting it in a celebration of Boricua-Hawaiiana culture. Magic, potions, and mystery are met with hula, ipu heke, and true aloha spirit in this fantastical escape. Hawaii will fully surround the audience and performers through beautiful, huge projections created by flora&faunavisions, the designers behind Utopian Garden.

This is ‘Shakespeare in the Park… in the Armory.’ Wear aloha shirts and flower crowns, and bring your beach towels, leis, lauhala mats, pillows, and low-profile beach chairs to enjoy the enchanting oasis inside Tacoma Armory.

We are delighted to collaborate with our cultural consultants from the Asia Pacific Cultural Center, who are supporting the music and movement for A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The Play that Goes Wrong @ Tacoma Little Theatre
Sep 8 @ 7:30 pm

Get ready to laugh harder than you’ve laughed before!

Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! This Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
