Main Stage Award Winning Community Theater, TWELFTH NIGHT


Join the Party and PLAY ON! 
Regional PREMIERE! Kwame Kwei-Armah and Shaina Taub’s “blissfu​l, happiness-drenched” (NY TIMES) musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a free-spirited, thoroughly delightful gloss on the bard’s beloved comedy.  Featuring Taub’s buoyant jazz-funk-and-R&B-inflected score this exuberant, inclusive party is a joyful tale of mistaken identity, self-discovery, and true love. 
"The show’s concluding, celebratory song asks us to “see through the eyes of another, hear through the ears of somebody else.” That’s when you realize that  it’s empathy that makes this production feel like such a blessing​.” NY TIMES
 ​A musical adaptation of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S Twelfth Night
Conceived by KWAME KWEI-ARMAH & SHANIA TAUB
Music and Lyrics by 
SHANIA TAUB
