Last year’s performance brought a happy audience to International Friendship Gardens. The 'fairies' and 'elves' costumed audience enjoyed participating in a version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The Metamorphis Traveling Theater Company gave a delightful presentation that had the audience smiling and leaving their seats to hunt for the fairies and elves hiding in the trees. About 100 play goers attended and expressed their satisfaction at the end of the performance. "Same time next year?" was the question some of the audience asked the actors. This performance is sponsored by Friends of IFG and a Michigan City Community Enrichment Grant.
