When the real Puck appears after a bad rehearsal of a high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, his mischief only makes matters worse. As he meddles with a production filled with drama divas, an over-the-top director, terrible actors, and the cast and crew's own scrapes with unrequited love, chaos descends. Identities are mistaken, spells are cast, and an actor gets transformed into a pygmy hippo -- yet somehow, in true theater fashion, the show manages to go on.
