The Stillwater junior and senior high schools collaborated this year to produce a modern-day version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
The students updated the time period of the play to 2010 and transplanted the characters to Mumbai, India, the "land of modern-day outsourcing and arranged marriages."
The students will put on performances at the newly refurbished Stillwater Junior High School auditorium at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday. All seats are general admission and cost $6 for students and seniors, and $9 for adults. For more information, call 651-351-6905.
