Great Bend High School theater students will present “The Seussification of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” by Peter Bloedel, March 7-9 at the GBHS Auditorium. Show times are 7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The Bard’s most beloved comedy gets the full Seuss treatment in this playful adaptation. Two madcap narrators chronicle the tale of the mixed-up lovers as they wander through a forest full of whoosh bush tush beasts and fairies dueling with bumballoon swords. Told in rhyming couplets, this re-imagining is how Shakespeare’s magical tale might have played if Dr. Seuss had gotten his hands on it. 

Tickets are $5 online or $10 at the door. Candy bouquets will be sold at the door as a Drama Club fundraiser.
