The University of New Hampshire (UNH) Theatre Department faced many challenges this year as they navigated ways to cope with COVID-19 restrictions amidst performing their 2020-2021 performance season.

Last week the University of New Hampshire’s Theatre and Dance department released a filmed production of Shakespeare’s classic comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” directed by Deb Kinghorn. This supernatural play of confused lovers, feuding fairies, and overly eager thespians marks a deviation from the department’s general approach to theatre. As a result of COVID-19 and the limitations it has put on theatre, the production took a note from the Bard himself and made the world their stage - or at least, the university’s campus.
