Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare. The play centers around twins (Viola and Sebastian) that are separated in a shipwreck. Mayhem ensues when Viola disguises herself as a man and becomes a servant to Duke Orsino, who is desperately wooing the Countess Olivia. It’s a story of unrequited love and mistaken identity, with some practical jokes along the way.

This production is made possible possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
