“Twelfth Night, 2020” is a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s original which refocuses the text on the LGBTQIA+ community representation and inclusivity, set within circumstances that underscore the vital importance of peaceful protest as the voice of a community. We hope to offer thoughtful entertainment as a means to facilitate a greater sense of belonging for all at a time when distancing has led to a sense of isolation for many, and to support the urgent call towards greater justice, social awareness, and equity.
The production will take place outdoors in the amphitheater on the JAYwalk of Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, OH (across the way from the Chappelear Drama Center).
To safely adhere to COVID guidelines, social distancing circles for the audience will be outlined on the grass. Admission is free, and the seating will be “first come, first serve.” (We recommend bringing picnic blankets and pillows to sit on!)
Show dates: April 23 @ 7 pm, April 24 @ 7 pm, April 30 @ 7 pm, May 1 @ 7 pm, and May 2 @ 2 pm
