In the romantic comedy "TWELFTH NIGHT" by William Shakespeare, mistaken identity, musical interludes and mischief abound.
The story centers on twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck.
Stranded, Viola dresses as a man to protect herself, only to fall in love with the Duke Orsino.
The Duke, in turn, is in love with Countess Olivia.
Upon meeting, however, the Countess falls in love with Viola, mistaking her for a man!
Hijinks ensue until identities are revealed, the love triangle is untangled, and the twins are reunited.
Brendon Fox’s direction of "TWELFTH NIGHT" underscores THT REP's commitment to staging fresh, sophisticated, accessible productions of Shakespeare’s works.
Tiered tickets from $12-$200.

New play by Katie Bender, directed by Brendon Fox, with original plot concept by Livy Scanlon.
Presented in partnership with Urbanite Theatre in Sarasota, Florida.
Playing in rotating rep with Shakespeare’s "TWELFTH NIGHT."
Dressed in drag, "JUDITH" assumes her brother’s identity and heads to London to save his reputation.
In a patriarchal, politically-charged, deeply divided nation, she discovers the pleasures and pitfalls of passing as a man while becoming the poet known around town—and to history—as The Bard.
Gallivanting in and out of character, "JUDITH" is an unexpected solo show that explores ambition, self-worth, and queer identity.
Tiered tickets from $12-$200.
