From “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Bell gives us a “royal” marriage between Theseus, Mayor of Maplewood (Aaron Orion Baker), and elegant Hyppolyta of Clayton (Jeanitta Perkins). But demanding ghosts — apparently Maplewood abounds in ghost stories! — get in the way, just as they do in “Hamlet.”

Bell gives “Hamlet” its due. She takes her title from a line in that play, spoken by the ghost of the prince’s father. She even figures out a way for two of her actors, Reginald Pierre and Rachel Tibbetts, to deliver a couple of Hamlet’s great soliloquies, an aural pleasure comparable to the visual thrill of those puppets.

Here, Maplewood’s Hamlet (Joanna Cole Battles), a local historian, decides to learn more. Discovering that ghosts simply want to be remembered, she seeks help from three witches (Emily Baker, Anna Grimm and Traci Ponticello) rooted in “Macbeth.” They team up with other Maplewoodians to stage a play that will show the spirits how they are cherished in memory.

Their production — a mash-up of “Romeo and Juliet” and the Rude Mechanicals’ play in “Midsummer” — is basically a comedy, and a very funny one. (Emily Baker, in an outfit that costumer JC Krajicek smeared with “cement,” makes a fine joke all by herself.) Why this pleases the ghosts, who knows? But it does the trick, and the happy wedding goes on.
