RUN SMOOTH: The course of true love may be bumpy, but this performance by San Jose Dance Theatre will be an elegant affair.

One of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a laughably fantastical time that explores what falling in love really is—and all the misadventures associated with the experience. This weekend, San Jose Dance Theatre brings the flirtatious tale to life in dazzling motion in their fall performance. Mischievous Puck casts a spell on Titania, causing her to fall in love with a donkey, and there’s a play within a play also about the misadventures of love. VIP experiences will include a meet-and-greet, along with exclusive entry to the Fairy Kingdom Party.
