Actors Jordan Barbour and Daniel Parker talk about the challenges and rewards of finding a home in the theater, the meaning of generosity on stage, what makes Shakespeare relevant today and how important it is to spread the love!

Actors Jordan Barbour and Daniel Parker talk about the challenges and rewards of finding a home in the theater, the meaning of generosity on stage, what makes Shakespeare relevant today and how important it is to spread the love!

Has bloodshed come to Illyria? Toby and Maria tricked Malvolio into some very bad behavior with who knows what very bad results to come. Andrew, seeing that Olivia only had eyes for Cesario, also let Toby and Maria trick him into challenging Cesario to a fight. But, of course, Cesario is really Viola, who is no fighter, unlike her brother’s friend Antonio. Toby would have Andrew think otherwise...

Olivia awaits another visit from Viola, Maria and Toby await Malvolio’s wrongheaded appearance before Olivia, we await news of Viola’s brother Sebastian and his friend Antonio, and Sir Andrew, well, he’s still Sir Andrew...

In Illyria, matters of the heart heat up as the midsummer sun beats down. Olivia has declared her love to Cesario, who we know is Viola in disguise, but still Viola must find her, again, to beg for Orsino. But even before that, Maria’s plan unfolds as Malvolio finds and unfolds a mysterious letter...

How complicated life is in Illyria! Viola, still disguised, loves Orsino, but he loves Olivia. Uncle Toby’s friend Andrew wants Olivia to love him, while her old friend Feste simply wants her to be happy again. And while we know what Olivia wants, Malvolio apparently wants no one to be happy ever, and so we return to Olivia’s tennis court, where a ring lies in the grass...

“Alison Carey and Lezlie Cross explain how Shakespeare was able to avoid getting his nose slit, why it’s important for each of us to make our own iteration, and the myriad worlds within the words of TWELFTH NIGHT!”

Viola, now disguised as the young man Cesario, and in love with Duke Orsino, is off to bring words of love from Orsino to Olivia. But before Viola arrives, someone else rings the doorbell at Olivia’s mansion…

A shipwrecked young woman grieves over the loss of her twin brother and strikes out on her own in a foreign land governed by a love-lorn Duke pining for the affection of a beautiful Countess mourning the death of her brother.

“Twelfth Night” translator Alison Carey and Dramaturg Lezlie Cross take us on a tour of the play’s history, the challenges of making outdated comedy sound contemporary, and how a “Cock-and-feel” gave rise to a “Tromboner”.
