In this month's video feature, host Jesse North and producer Dave Tavani go behind the scenes of American Repertory Ballet's latest full-length ballet, "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Set to an enchanting score by Mendelssohn, Artistic Director Douglas Martin's new interpretation brings to life the wit and splendor of one of William Shakespeare's most popular comedies. Featuring brand-new choreography, costumes, and sets, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will portray the weaving tales of the cunning fairies, quarreling lovers, and a hilariously amateur acting group as their paths cross in a magical forest.

You won't want to miss American Repertory Ballet and the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra on Thursday, February 26 and Friday, February 27, 2015 at 8:00 PM at the State Theatre in New Brunswick.
