Produced by Red Bull Theater in collaboration with Apocalyptic Artists Ensemble, Twelfth Night will feature vibrant music, and be supported by in-school workshops for students led by teaching artists. Adapted and directed by Kea Trevett , this production for young audiences will transform familiar school spaces – classrooms, cafeterias, auditoriums – into the topsy turvy land of Illyria.

Shipwrecked on a foreign shore, and believing her twin brother drowned, Viola disguises herself as a young man to serve in the court of the Count Orsino. Soon after, she finds herself at the center of a passionate love triangle between herself, Orsino, and the Lady Olivia. What will become of this? Twelfth Night shows us a world turned upside down and reminds us that in life and in love we are all fools. What might we learn from our folly? And how can folly reveal our true selves and our heart's true desires – what we 'will?'
