(HADDON HEIGHTS, NJ) -- The Village Playbox presents William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream across three weekends from February 6-21, 2026 at First Presbyterian Church of Haddon Heights. The production is directed by Natasha Thompson.

The play consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue.

Performances take place Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00pm; Sunday matinees at 3:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. First Presbyterian Church of Haddon Heights is located at 28 Seventh Avenue in Haddon Heights, New Jersey.

The Village Playbox began with two shows in 1940, and increased to three, and then four productions with the addition of a musical for children in 1975. Playbox focuses on comedies, mysteries, and light dramas. 

The Village Playbox is a long-standing member of both the South Jersey Theatre League (SJTL) and the American Association of Community Theatre (AACT)
