Looking for something a little different to do with the family this month? Here’s one that feels special, without having to leave our area.
The Inland Pacific Ballet is bringing A Midsummer Night’s Dream to the Lewis Family Playhouse for one weekend only, April 25–26, and it’s the kind of performance that feels like stepping into another world. This isn’t your typical ballet experience. It’s full of playful fairies, mixed-up love stories, and just the right amount of magic to keep things fun and easy to follow, even for kids or first-time theatergoers.
What to Expect
The story follows four young lovers who wander into an enchanted forest, where things quickly get… complicated. With the help (or chaos) of mischievous fairies, nothing goes as planned. By the end, everything sorts itself out in the most entertaining way.
You’ll see:
- Whimsical fairy scenes that younger kids tend to love
- Funny moments thanks to the troublemaking character Puck
- Beautiful costumes and sets that really bring the story to life
- A grand wedding finale that wraps it all up on a high note
The performance is set to music by Felix Mendelssohn, which adds that dreamy, magical feel throughout.
Why This One Is Worth It
I always like sharing events that feel a little elevated but still approachable for families, and this checks that box. It’s local, it’s only a couple of hours, and it gives kids exposure to live performing arts in a way that’s actually engaging.
Plus, it’s right here in Victoria Gardens, so you can easily turn it into a full outing with dinner or dessert before or after.
