Twelfth Night, or What You Will
by Mary Moody Northen Theatre
Apr. 16 - Apr. 25, 2021
Fridays-Sundays
Shakespeare’s delightful comedy brings just what the doctor ordered at the end of the spring semester – poetry, music, romance, sword fighting and mistaken identity under the stars at our temporary outdoor playing area. Bring your blanket and enjoy the return of live, in-person performance on the hilltop with plenty of space between patrons. Count Orsino is mad for the Countess Olivia and demands his manservant (Viola, in disguise) deliver his missives of love. What could possibly go wrong, you ask? Come see.
"Boundlessly funny."
