Sun Valley Shakespeare in the Park — Twelfth Night

Directed by returning and Resident Director Colton Pometto from New York City, it includes professional actors from NYC, Chicago, LA and some of your favorite local actors. Set in the enchanting world of Illyria, this timeless tale follows the adventures of Viola, a shipwrecked young woman who disguises herself as a man named Cesario. As Viola navigates the comical chaos of mistaken identities and unrequited love, she finds herself entangled in a web of hilarious and heartwarming situations. Filled with witty wordplay, eccentric characters, and a touch of the supernatural, Twelfth Night promises an evening of laughter, romance, and revelry under the stars. Join us for an unforgettable performance as we celebrate the joy of love, friendship, and the magic of Shakespeare's enduring genius.
