Did you know UC Berkeley has a massive costume shop? Join us for an exclusive behind the scenes look into our costume collection. The magic is all coming together as the team prepares for their upcoming production of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream.
✨A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM ✨
March 12-15, 2026
Durham Studio Theater
Tickets are available at tickets.berkeley.edu
Are you ready for some mischief? As we move through an ever-tangled world of uncertainty, Shakespeare’s fever dream of a play feels especially timely. A Midsummer Night’s Dream invites us to embrace the wonder of human existence, explore who we are becoming, and relish the fire and messiness of love in all its forms—reminding us that joy, connection, and clarity are always within reach.
Follow @berkeleytdps for all things theater! 🎭
