Twelfth Night, Or What You Will
- By William Shakespeare
- Directed by Marissa Wolf
JUMP TO: Dates, Run Time, Playbill, & More
When Viola washes ashore, her twin brother Sebastian is lost at sea. Disguises, mistaken identities and unrequited love show them that shipwrecks may be the least of their problems. In one of Shakespeare’s most enduring comedies, everything — love, mischief, music and libations — exists in exciting excess!

For the 7:30 p.m. performance of Twelfth Night, Or What You Will
BIPOC Affinity Nights are a mindful curation of an environment meant to center the experience of people who identify as part of the BIPOC community (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) — dedicated to generating a space for BIPOC individuals to engage with the performance in ways that are authentic to them.
All people who self-identify as BIPOC, and their guests, are specifically invited to attend. Though no one will be turned away, it is encouraged that folks outside of the BIPOC community join us on another night.
Twelfth Night is recommended for ages 12 and up. The show explores mistaken identity and misplaced passion, while helping us understand how we deal with love, loss and grief and contains some drug use.

We have deals to meet every schedule and budget!
Health and flexibility are our top priorities. Please read about the protocols we have in place to ensure the health and safety of our patrons, artists, staff, and community.
