Midsommer Flight

Mission

Midsommer Flight produces high quality, accessible performances of Shakespeare’s plays in Chicago communities.

Vision

Its vision is to create Shared Joy: the shared experience of a laugh, a gasp, or a cathartic cry; of an event that brings people together in community. This connection is the joy. It has the power to remind us of our shared humanity. Our ordinary, extraordinary humanity. Our belonging.

The company achieves Shared Joy through Flights of Fancy: journeys through the imagination, which it takes through the plays of William Shakespeare.

Midsommer Flight fosters:
– Financial accessibility by offering all Free and Pay-What-You-Can productions;
– Aesthetic and cultural accessibility by hiring diverse artists to interpret these stories;
– Textual accessibility by working with actors to clarify the language for all audience members;
– Geographic accessibility by touring to different areas of the city;
– Physical accessibility by performing in public spaces.

Since inception, Midsommer Flight has envisioned local residents, families, Shakespeare lovers, and those new to his work all to come together to experience the excitement and adventure of Shakespeare’s gorgeous language and timeless stories.

Shared Joy. Flights of fancy.
