Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at Canyon Moon Theatre:
A Musical Romp of Romance and Revels

Never send a boy to do a man's work, especially if he's a girl! Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at Canyon Moon Theatre, April 8-24, features silly lovers and ale-loving knights, all chasing each other in a musical romp that ends in marriage with a few twists.
Romantic complications among the upper classes multiply in the fantasy kingdom of Illyria as Duke Orsino sends Viola (thinking she is a boy) to woo the celibate Olivia in his name. Add a backdrop of side-splitting revelry as the ever-tipsy Sir Toby Belch and the foolish knight, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, join forces with the fun-loving Maria to marry Olivia off to Sir Andrew and to dupe the puritanical steward Malvolio into making a fool of himself by wooing Olivia. Throw in a twin brother, sword play, various other disguises and twelve songs and the rollercoaster is at full throttle.
Twelfth Night is directed by Robert Bays who also plays Sir Toby. The musical director, Teri Bays, returns to CMT as Maria. Actors Craig Hartley, Sarah Lesslie, Justin Ove, Brad Roberts and Mary Wallin round out a cast that will keep you laughing at Shakespeare's most delightful comedy of errors!
