Shakespeare in the Park
Join us for a magical summer bringing Shakespeare’s beloved comedy to life in the park! Directed by Megan Stacey.
Show Length: 90 minutes, no intermission. Guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs, picnic blankets, and water bottles!
After a shipwreck separates twins Viola and Sebastian, each assumes the other is dead. When Viola dresses as a man to secure a job serving the Duke Orsino, shenanigans ensue. This classic story of mistaken identity and musical mayhem is the bard’s light-hearted exploration of gender, sexuality, and love – and how blurred those lines can get. Inspiring classic movies such as She’s the Man and musicals such as All Shook Up, the comedy of Twelfth Night is for everyone. And in the heat of summer, we are taking this story to the beach! See how Viola takes on a job at the luxurious “Windsor Waves Resort”, ready to start a new life – and maybe find some love along the way.
