American Repertory Ballet Previews A Midsummer’s Night Dream By Robert Johnson SHARE BUTTON With the slightest effort---just by squinting a little---it was possible to believe the scene on stage. American Repertory Ballet was offering a preview of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway; and gossamer sprites who might have been sipping dew from a cowslip blossom only moments before had gathered in the forest to attend their queen, Titania, when she retired for the night. Although the scenery was minimal, consisting only of the hollow tree where Titania made her bed, a magical world of squabbling fairies and mortal lovers in distress condensed before our eyes.
