Midsummer's Night & Spectacle

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play that was written by William Shakespeare. It is believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, who are manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.

In Key West, FL the famous Carol Tedesco helped put on one of the biggest events of the Summer at the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Gardens with the theme from the play in mind.


While in the Keys, you can't help but have fresh coconuts to sip on during the heat of summer.


People of all ages dressed the part, and had a great time at the event.

With the current interactive art show which is going on in the gardens, you could even play your own magical tunes on the artwork provided.


If you didn't want to make your own, you could take a stroll down the path


and follow the sounds of music, to sit and enjoy local musicians packing in the seats.


As I was shooting a shot of the famous Kathy Kirby.....


I heard the unmistakable sound of the hand clap/whistle combination which only means one thing!!! Time for the Cuban Dancing to begin!


Beth and her fellow partners put on one heck of a great show for everyone.


After they warmed up, and the crowd was moving. Out came the Conga Line.
