Fall 2026 | Twelfth Night

Nov 24 - 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Nov 25 & 27 at 11:30 a.m.

Nov 28 at 2 p.m.

Join us for our version of Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare and directed by Tim Welham.

Set in the roar of the 1920s, with its joyous opulence and indulgence, our version of Twelfth Night mingles themes of joy and sorrow, fantasy and reality, and kindness and cruelty into a beautiful, mature play about unrequited love, disguise, madness, and the exploration of gender identity.

Audiences will see their lived experiences reflected onstage as the characters fall in (and out) of love, overcome grief and hardship, manage cruelty and bullying, and discover the identity of their true selves. One of Shakespeare's most famous and beloved romantic comedies, the play is a beautiful blend of high comedy and thrilling drama designed to entertain, delight and inspire.

Age recommendation: 10 and up

Running time: 90 minutes.

Winter 2027 | antigone lives**

March 30 - Apr 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Come and attend antigone lives** by Susanna Fournier and directed by Andy Houston.

This play is an unfaithful re-telling of Sophicles’ original. It’s more like a rave than a play and combines techno, despair, and family politics in a 200-bpm exploration of the carcass of democracy and notions of revolution. There is also a goat and a pack of jackals attempting to navigate the growing crisis of displaced peoples in our “global village”.

Age recommendation: 16 and up

Running time: 90 minutes.
