A modern twist on a Shakespeare classic returns this summer for Pella’s award-winning theater troupe. A Midsummer Night’s Dream has four showings this Thursday through Sunday in the Pella Community Center. Director Chris Haug says the classic tale is being brought into a more modern setting, but the themes present in the Shakespeare production are alive and well.
