Fairytales tell the truth: Everyone is wishing for something. Curses can last for generations. No one is alone. And children will listen.
This magical musical weaves together the tales of Jack and his beanstalk, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red, a baker and his wife,
and a powerful witch. But be careful what you wish for… even a storybook ending isn’t what it seems. From once upon a time to the
last midnight, it’s an enchanting journey.

| | Breakneck Twelfth Night
Adapted and Performed by Timothy Mooney
Friday, October 17, 2025
Acclaimed Shakespearean actor Tim Mooney returns to the Ocala Civic Theatre stage after his hilarious Lot O’Shakespeare show last fall! Tim is back with Breakneck Twelfth Night, a whirlwind journey through Shakespeare’s beloved comedy of twins separated in a shipwreck. His adaptation condenses the usual two-hour play into a thrilling one-hour performance with a single actor. This “breakneck performance” brings to life the wit, romance, and mistaken identities of Twelfth Night with breathtaking speed and clarity. This adaptation showcases the play’s humor and heart, making Shakespeare’s language more accessible than ever. It’s epic fun for all ages!
