AACC Performance: Twelfth Night
November 8th, 7:30 p.m.; Pascal Center for the Performing Arts, Arnold
AACC Theatre's mainstage production for the fall 2024 season is "Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare! It's an entertaining, rollicking, slap-stick comedy that navigates the themes of love, mistaken identity, and the topsy-turvy nature of human relationships. Set in the fictional kingdom of Illyria, the play follows the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola disguises herself as a young man, Cesario, and enters the service of Duke Orsino. As Cesario, Viola becomes the intermediary in Orsino’s pursuit of the countess Olivia, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and romantic entanglements. The subplot involves the antics of Olivia’s steward, Malvolio, who becomes the unwitting victim of a prank orchestrated by Olivia’s household. This production is directed by Madeline Austin.
