Join the Youth Shakes ensemble for a fresh, all-youth production of Twelfth Night. Experience the classic comedy of mistaken identities and chaotic romance, brought to life with vibrant energy and sharp humor - all tickets are Pay What You Choose!

Shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria, believing her twin brother to be dead, and in need of protection and employment, Viola disguises herself as a man, Cesario, to gain access to the Duke Orsino’s court. She quickly finds herself caught in a tangled web of romantic misadventures. Meanwhile, a band of merry fools stirs up trouble. With its witty wordplay, enchanting characters, and a plot that spins faster than a love letter in the wind, Twelfth Night is Shakespeare at his funniest.

This production is the first collaboration with ACT Theatre, and will rehearse and perform in ACT Theatre spaces!
