Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum
The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum presents classic theater in the woods. This very lush outdoor setting is a wonderful get-away to enjoy an evening of fine theater.
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum (Topanga, CA)
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum's outdoor summer season continues with Shakespeare's classic romantic comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream. The bucolic Topanga Canyon hillside is the perfect setting for this whimsical story of love, mischief, matchmaking and magic in an enchanted forest inhabited by faerie folk, woodland creatures, and a donkey.

The only way to see 'Dream' is at the Botanicum!
The cast try their best but possibly lack direction. Puck should steal the show but does not and the play within a play at the end is acted with the words spoken too quickly and unclear therfore the funniest parts are lost. ALL actors need to project their voices more.
In spite of all the above I encourage all to go to the Theatricum the staff & food are great and it is a wonderful night under the stars!


I've seen "Midsummer" many times before -- even in previous seasons at the Theatricum, but this was the very best, the very funniest, production ever!

A very well performed show in an idyllic setting. Definitely worth seeing!

In a place of enchantment inhabited by lovers both fairy and human, three worlds collide: the unrequited loves of Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia and Helena; a rehearsal of the Pyramus and Thisby legend by a group of Rustics; and the domestic troubles in the land of the fairies.
Shakespeare's powerful language evokes a brilliant world of wonder, magic and romance, where confusions are resolved and all is reconciled through midsummer night revelries and faith in the power of nature.
