The Donkey Show: A Midsummer Night's Disco

Director: Sal Trapani

Tony Award winner Diane Paulus's celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show brings you the ultimate disco experience—a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. This disco-infused adaptation takes audiences on a wild, immersive journey through the magic and fairy-filled story — all the way to the dance floor, all underscored by ‘70s disco hits.
