About the Event

6PM Cash Bar 7PM Script in Hand Performance Followed by a Post Show Discussion Viola is shipwrecked and looking for her twin brother in the strange land of Ilyria, and she disguises herself to become a young man named Cesario. She meets the Duke Orsino, who speaks with great passion of his love for a local woman named Olivia who wants nothing to do with him. So he employs Cesario to be his intermediary, but Olivia takes a fancy to the young messenger, and then the fun really begins! We are also treated to a crazed sub plot to undermine and humiliate Olivia’s very correct, and puritanical servant Malvolio. Sir Toby Belch, and his sidekick Sir Andrew Aguecheek team up with the clown Feste to trick Malvolio into thinking that Olivia is actually in love with him. Shakespeare sets up many contrasts in this riotous, somewhat mean-spirited comedy, so that we can examine what happens when chaos and order are thrown together and swirled about in the random whirly gig of life. Tickets: Early Bird Special: $20 Until Oct 4 2023 (With No Fees!) Regular Price: $40 (Includes Fees) Day of Show: $50 (Includes Fees)
