Town of Bridgewater issued the following announcement on Oct. 29
The National Players are coming to Sipe Center! The Helen Hayes award winning theatre will present two classic plays: Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun and William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Tickets are just $20 to see these critically acclaimed productions: A Raisin in the Sun on November 12 and A Midsummer Night’s Dream on November 13. In William Shakespeare’s most-loved comedy and in Lorainne Hansberry’s paradigm-shifting family drama, people sacrifice all they have to pursue their dreams while powers in control attempt to stop them. Both A Midsummer Night’s Dream and A Raisin in the Sun celebrate family, speak to the modern moment, and help us better understand ourselves and our neighbor. Purchase your tickets online, over the phone or in person at the box office.
