‘Twelfth Night' - a Shakespeare play - hits the stage at SCC on March 6

A Shakespeare play - “Twelfth Night” - is coming to the Donald D. Shook Fine Arts Building theater at St. Charles Community College at 7:30 p.m. March 6.

There will be several additional showings for the play:

  • 10 a.m. Thursday, March 7 (school matinee)

Donna Spaulding will be directing Center Stage Theatre's performance of “Twelfth Night.”

Stranded on the coast of Illyria, the quick-witted Viola assumes the disguise of a pageboy for Duke Orsino and finds herself at the center of an explosive love triangle in which identity, passion and gender all threaten to come undone. Bursting with vitality and romance, this delightful abbreviated version of “Twelfth Night” gives us one of Shakespeare's most remarkable heroines matching wits with a host of captivating characters - from the love-struck Olivia to the puritanical Malvolio. You may even hear the gentle strains of a lute playing renaissance music!

“Twelfth Night” is appropriate for middle school-aged students and older.

Tickets are free with a valid SCC student or faculty/staff ID. Admission is $6 for seniors, non-SCC students and veterans, or $8 for the general public.
