Twelfth Night, or What You Will
Auditions November 19-22
A cross-dressing, shipwreck surviving, poetry-loving girl finds herself at the center of a not-so-average love triangle.
"If music be the food of love, play on."
Twins Viola and Sebastian emerge from a shipwreck, each thinking the other dead. Viola disguises herself as a boy named Cesario, while Sebastian finds himself in the middle of a fight. Mistaken identities, love notes, and misunderstandings abound, but of course things all turn out right in this classic Shakespearean comedy.
