The directors of this year’s Festival Repertory Theatre have described it as magical, unpredictable and even romantic.

Created by the FAU Theatre department, the Festival Repertory Theatre is a series of performances revolving around a single theme. This year’s theme is whimsy. The three performances — A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shipwrecked! An Entertainment and And the Tony Goes To … — will be staged in Boca in addition to a free preview on Friday the 18th at the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center.
