Stage Door Productions Presents: Twelfth Night - And Now for Something Completely Different

Fredericksburg Performing Arts Institute and the Stage Door Productions Youth Actors put a Rom-Com spin on William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night a comedy about mistaken identity, love triangles, and disguise, following shipwreck survivor Viola who, thinking her twin brother Sebastian is dead, disguises herself as a male page, "Cesario," for Duke Orsino; but complications arise when Orsino's beloved, Countess Olivia, falls for Cesario, while Viola secretly loves Orsino, leading to hilarious chaos that resolves with the real Sebastian's arrival and confusion, culminating in multiple marriages and revelations. Performed by the seasoned youth actors ages 12 to adult, the audience will follow the narrator and actors who may from time to time, break that fourth wall at the stage edge. Award-winning comedic director Ray Manfredi (Man Eating Chicken, Play On, Over the River and Through the Woods, A Christmas Carol, Clue, and Hand to God) brings a different style of comedy to this classic tale, as both the audience and cast compete to see who laughs the most.
