Happy ! Today we're looking back at our wonderfully talented cast and crew from our production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" this summer! We had such a magical time!

Good morning PSP family!

About a week ago we closed our 2021 production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, in the round, at The Common Park! It was so delightful to see all of you there; some braving the hot and cold temperatures, and all supporting free, live, and accessible Shakespeare! We enjoyed sharing the magic with you!
