‘Dream on

With puppets, construction vests and hard hats, it’s a Shakespeare comedy like you’ve never seen it before.

In what’s become a summer tradition, Prospect Lefferts Gardens Arts’ annual production of “Daydream” — an adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” — returns to Prospect Park’s Imagination Playground.

In the reworking, a crew of construction workers wander into Prospect Park to rehearse a play and stumble upon a battle between the King and Queen of the Faeries.

The free, outdoor performances run throughout June. Stick around after the show for children’s activities or bring a swimsuit to splash in the dragon fountain.

“Daydream” at the Imagination Playground in Prospect Park [Enter at Ocean Avenue, (718) 393-7733], Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 2 pm from June 4-26. Free. For more info, visit www.plgarts.org.
