Midsommer Flight

Founded in 2012 by Chicago theatre artist Beth Wolf, Midsommer Flight presented its inaugural free production of A Midsummer Night s Dream in August 2012 as an Arts Partner with Touhy Park of the Chicago Park District. The following year, the company incorporated as an Illinois not-for-profit, receiving 501(c)(3) status in 2013. In the company’s name, “Midsommer” is spelled uniquely as it appears in Shakespeare’s First Folio, the original “Complete Works” published in 1623. Since inception, Midsommer Flight has reached almost 20,000 audience members. Now, the company tours a new production to 6 parks each summer, reaching Chicago communities on the north, west and south sides. The company also presented Twelfth Night each year in December at the Lincoln Park Conservatory from 2015-2022.
