PLG Arts Provides Theater For Kids in Imagination Playground

Throughout June, PLG Arts will be presenting shows of DAYDREAM: A 45-minute "Midsummer Night's Dream at the Imagination Playground in Prospect Park every Saturday at 11 and every Sunday at 3. The show is directed by Rohana Elias-Reyes and is free to all, with open seating in the playground. There will also be post-show art-making activities for children. We'll be bringing Sid sometime this summer even though, at 22 months, he falls outside of PLG Arts' recommended age range of "3 to 103."

Since this post is mostly a rewritten press release, I hope you don't mind when I quote a review of the show directly from the release:

NYtheatre.com calls the show "can't miss children's theatre that Shakespeare lovers will truly appreciate," and with more magic, music, and puppets than ever, PLG Arts 5th annual production of DAYDREAM will have kids and their parents spotting Puck in the playground and fairies in the fountain. A group of construction workers comes to rehearse a play in Prospect Park's Imagination Playground and stumble into a battle between the King and Queen of the Fairies. Magic, puppets, hard hats & safety vests – what more could any Brooklyn kid want? (Those from other boroughs welcome!) Stick around afterwards for the free craft activity or bring your kids' bathing suits for a splash in the dragon fountain after the play.

I saw Daydream for the first time last year (my next-door neighbor is the stage manager) - I don't have kids, so I'd never gone before. I was enthralled! I urge anyone (with or without kids) who hasn't seen this to go - I intend to, probably more than once.
