**** "BOTTOMS UP!" ****
"The New American Theatre, combined with The Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, proves once again its ability to stage classic plays. Midsummer captures the magic and the poetry of Shakespeare’s tightly-crafted drama and instills it with comedy and authenticity. The action never drags and the dialogue never falters, holding the audience rapt from beginning to end."
