The new documentary “Midsummer in Newtown” explores local efforts to use art as a healing tool, specifically through a children’s theater production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Above, The Huffington Post has an exclusive clip from the movie, which opens in New York on Friday and expands to additional theaters next week.
