Worlds collide as love, magic and mischief intertwine in an enchanted forest outside Athens.
Four young lovers flee into the woods, only to become pawns in a fairy feud between Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairies.
Meanwhile, a group of bumbling tradesmen rehearse a play for the Duke’s wedding, unaware they're about to be swept into the chaos.
As spells go awry and identities blur, this timeless and beloved comedy explores the madness of love and the fine line between reality and illusion.

Interior Design: A critical building block in creating inspired spaces
Room L1060
Admission is free, everyone welcome

Built environments support how we live, learn, work, and navigate space.  They may impact people for a few days, months, years or for decades.  As an interior designer focused on complex commercial projects across Canada, my experience has proven that utilizing design strategically does have the power to transform space profoundly, and that it requires purpose, vision and determination.  From the coulees, to Toronto, across Canada and back again, I will share my experiences designing through major shifts, game changers, and perspectives that remain constant despite everything.

Susan Jefferson is the Director of Campus Development at the University of Lethbridge.
