TWELFTH NIGHT

By William Shakespeare

Facilitated by Julia Sommer

When Viola washes ashore alone in the strange land of Illyria—convinced her twin brother is lost—she makes a daring choice: disguise herself as a young man named Cesario. In this guise, she enters the service of Duke Orsino, who is pining for the distant Countess Olivia—until Olivia falls not for the Duke, but for Cesario. Viola, meanwhile, finds herself falling in love with Orsino, even as the identities around her begin to tangle.

Throw in conniving servants, love letters gone awry, a steward who dreams far above his station, and the magic of mistaken identity—and you’ve got Shakespeare at his most playful, poetic, and poignant.

Twelfth Night is a comedy of disguise, longing, and laughter—a celebration of what we hide, what we reveal, and how love doesn’t always follow the rules we expect.

Journey with Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion (and Toto too) down the Yellow Brick Road!

ENID'S MILL

By Martha Douglas-Osmundson

Directed by Leslie Pasternack

A tender, richly human story about resilience, memory, and what it means to come home.

In 1979 upstate New York, a quiet house tucked beside an old mill holds decades of silence, grief—and possibility. Enid’s Mill is a poignant new family drama about the healing power of time, love, and art. When Cassie returns home after a ten-year absence, she must confront the tragedy that tore her family apart and the brilliant, neurodiverse sister she left behind. With painter’s brushes and unspoken truths, the sisters navigate a stormy reunion that could transform them both.

THE CHILDREN

By Lucy Kirkwood

A riveting exploration of our responsibility to each other—and the planet.

In the wake of a nuclear disaster, two retired nuclear scientists visit a former colleague, asking her to make a life-altering decision. The Children is a taut, thought-provoking drama that explores the ethical and personal consequences of the choices we make for the next generation. Award-winning playwright Lucy Kirkwood delves into the intersection of personal responsibility and global catastrophe, examining how the actions of one generation impact those that follow. With biting wit, searing tension, and poignant humanity, The Children is a play about aging, legacy, and the terrifying burden of a broken world.
