Bravo Boro will debut its first outdoor theatrical production with A Midsummer Night’s Dream beginning June 5 at Hop Springs.

Directed by Nicholas Buckley and Sky Roberts and produced by Tyler Tsoumbos, the production runs June 5–7 and June 12–14. The show introduces a new style of performance for Bravo Boro as the company expands its programming and immersive theater experiences in Murfreesboro.

Set in a moonlit forest where fairies meddle, lovers lose their way and actors stumble into chaos, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is widely regarded as one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays. Staged outdoors at Hop Springs, the comedy aims to capture the atmosphere of a warm Tennessee summer evening beneath the stars.

“There’s something timeless about experiencing Shakespeare outdoors in the summer,” Buckley says. “This play is already so magical, and being under the night sky allows audiences to step into that world in a completely different way.”

Co-director Roberts says the setting naturally complements the play’s atmosphere.

“The show has this dreamlike quality to it,” he says. “You have moonlight, music, comedy, and all of these fantastical elements unfolding around the audience. Performing it outdoors at night makes the whole experience feel more immersive.”

Performances will take place at Hop Springs, 6790 John Bragg Hwy.; the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday June 5–7 and 12–14. Find tickets and additional information at bravoboro.theater.
