This is a challenging and fun experience under the guidance of professional practitioners. Everyone gets a role!
Twelfth Night
A ship is wrecked on the rocks. Viola is washed ashore but her twin brother Sebastian is lost. Determined to survive on her own, she steps out to explore a new land. So begins a whirlwind of mistaken identity and unrequited love. Join us for a high-spirited romp, set among a bright world of yachts, disguises, 80’s radio, flip-flops, extended pranks and fruity drinks!
