Midsommer Flight is a not-for-profit theatre company dedicated to presenting high quality, accessible productions of Shakespeare’s plays in Chicago communities. The company has produced free Shakespeare in the park since 2012 in Chicago neighborhoods, performing to large crowds and growing each year. In 2015, the company also expanded its programming to present an indoor holiday production of Twelfth Night inside the Lincoln Park Conservatory, an iconic greenhouse located in the heart of the city. This album contains the original music, set to Shakespeare’s words, composed for the company’s summer 2016 production in Chicago parks.
