Twelfth Night & As You Like It

"All the world's a stage," declares Jacques in Shakespeare's delightful pastoral comedy As You Like It, "and all the men and women merely players." Come play with us as Rosalind, Orlando, Celia, and the clown Touchstone journey into the Forest of Arden for adventures both romantic and ridiculous.

Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare, is a beautiful story of loss and renewal, filled with the delightful chaos of mistaken identity, and unrequited love. After Viola and her twin brother Sebastian are separated after a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a boy to survive as a servant of the Duke Orsino. She is set the task to woo the lady Olivia is her master’s stead even as she herself falls in love with Orsino, while Olivia falls in love with the disguised Viola. How will these crossed lovers ever come to a happy conclusion?
