APR. 30-MAY 9 2026
✨ A “Walking” Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Tallahassee Museum
To close our season, the live-oak groves of the Tallahassee Museum will transform into fairy-filled pathways for a truly immersive theatrical experience: A “Walking” Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Over two magical weekends — April 30, May 1, May 2, May 7, May 8, and May 9 at 7:30 PM — small audience clusters will wander a guided woodland trail, encountering Puck’s pranks, Titania’s enchanting court, and the Rude Mechanicals’ comic capers beneath starlit clearings and moss-draped oaks. Zip lines will even carry our faeries through the treetops, adding high-flying wonder to this 120-minute, no-intermission adventure.
This is Shakespeare as you’ve never experienced it — fully outdoors, fully immersive, and full of surprise at every turn.
Important Notes:
This is a two-hour walking event through uneven, unpaved, wooded nature paths. Seating is extremely limited. This performance is not recommended for guests with mobility challenges or those who may struggle on outdoor trails.
Let us lead you into the forest… if you dare.
