The Rustic Mechanicals, West Virginia’s Shakespeare troupe, will bring their 2026 Howl at the Moon Tour to Huntington with a special matinee performance of William Shakespeare’s classic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The performance is scheduled for Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM at the West Edge Factory (1040 Vernon Street, Huntington, WV).
Shakespeare’s timeless comedy plunges audiences into an enchanted forest where the worlds of feuding fairy royalty, four tangled Athenian lovers, and a comical troupe of blue-collar actors collide. Through bewitching spells, mistaken identities, and mischievous matchmaking, A Midsummer Night’s Dream explores the chaotic, joyful, and often ridiculous nature of falling in love.
Known for their fast-paced, immersive staging, physical humor, and acoustic live musicianship, The Rustic Mechanicals specialize in highlighting the accessibility of Shakespeare’s plays.
