Ending tonight: "A Midsummer" in a park

LAST CHANCE >>>

Animal Fire Theatre's A Midsummer Night's Dream production is adorable. Not every joke's a corker, mind you, but remember that the definition of "comedy" in the early 1600s was that someone gets married at the end. A Shakespearean romp doesn't have to be joke-setup-joke like an episode of How I Met Your Mother. The plot, about mortals and Amazons besotted by magical flowers, is both dorky and disarming, and you can't beat the scenery.

The play's last performance in Olympia's Priest Point Park will be held tonight at 7:30 p.m.
