What better way to spend a midsummer night than enjoying Shakespeare’s play about, well, a midsummer night? You can join the Iowa Stage Theatre Co.’s whimsical production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” tonight through Sunday on the lawn at the historic Salisbury House and Gardens.

They’ll provide lawn chairs, but feel free to bring your own, with blankets and picnic baskets to enjoy the outdoors. You can also buy beer, wine, nonalcoholic drinks and ice cream on site. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, we recommend the charcuterie board, courtesy of Lachele’s Fine Foods.

Keep in mind: Ticket sales close two days before each performance, so snag them now.
