Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
directed by Terry Dodd

Join the merriment as Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy/drama brings the Bard back to The Vic. Local legend has it that The Vic, built in 1911 by George W. Swartz and known as the Bungalow from 1911-1937, was the first theatre west of the Mississippi to have staged all of Shakespeare’s plays. Current owners/producers, Wade and Lorraine Wood, are thrilled to have award winning director Terry Dodd lend his vision and talent to this rich legacy.

Originally commissioned by The Queen as an ‘entertainment,’ Twelfth Night or What You Will follows Viola (L. Corwin Christie) in her rebellious quest to find her brother, Sebastian (Chris Bleau). Set in the very groovy 1960’s, the winsome Olivia (Stephanie Jones), roguish Sir Toby (Wade P. Wood), pompous Malvolio (Harry Cruzan) and spirited Feste (Theresa Reid) help reveal the secrets of love, laughter and life in the era of free love. Tune in, turn on, and trip out – Twelfth Night!
