Wandering Souls presents (www.wanderingsouls.org)
William Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night
Directed by Andrew Wassenich
Featuring: Luke Cieslewicz, Grant Cloyd, Lex Davis, Melissa Marie Hmelnicky, Megan Reichelt, Julie Roundtree, Teresa Spencer and Jacob Yeh Running Time: 1 hour

Wit, music, romance and revelry are the food of love in this comedic feast of lovers and fools. One of Shakespeare's most famous comedies - Twelfth Night is a play about love in all it's excess, the madness it can drive us to, the pain it gives us and finally the ability to heal that pain. Viola and her twin brother are shipwrecked in the magical land of Illyria, each believing the other drowned. Disguised as a young man, and entering the service of the lovesick Duke Orsino,Viola woos the wistful lady Olivia for her new master and finds herself in a most unusual and hilarious love triangle. Merry deceptions, mistaken identities and yellow stockings abound in this lilting comedy.

About Wandering Souls
Wandering Souls is dedicated to making the luxury of the arts more accessible to everyone!At the core of our mission is a belief that the arts can fuel our imagination, encourage our personal growth and help unite individuals and communities. Yet, the richness of the arts is often considered a luxury. By bringing stripped-down, high quality, energetic performances to those who have little or no access we hope to break down that misconception.
We hope to open the channels to engaging conversations , new experiences and-- in the process-- provide opportunities for a broader cultural exchange.
