‘Midsummer Night’s’ treat

A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, and with good reason: the costumes are great, the lines are funny, and the story is easy to follow.

It’s no surprise then, that it’s routinely adaptated for children. Nnow through Aug. 29, the Arena Players Childrens Theater presents the comedy outdoors in the Vanderbilt Museum’s cobblestone courtyard, overlooking Long Island Sound and Northport Harbor.

Follow as the four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors enter a moonlit forest, where mischievous fairies await, and humorous chaos ensues.

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Vanderbilt Museum [180 Little Neck Rd. between Gina Drive and Cobblestone Court in Centerport, (631) 854-5579], now through Aug. 29. Fridays at 8 pm and Sundays at 7 pm. Tickets $15 for adults, $10 for students and children 12 and under. For info, visit www.vanderbiltmuseum.org.
