Twelfth Night


Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night

Join us under the summer sky for Shakespeare’s beloved comedy Twelfth Night, a joyful tale of mistaken identities, unexpected love, and delightfully tangled schemes. When Viola is shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria, she disguises herself as a man and enters the service of Duke Orsino—only to find herself caught in a web of unrequited affection, mischievous pranks, and witty banter. Filled with music, laughter, and romance, this free outdoor performance invites audiences of all ages to experience the magic of live theatre in the open air.

Aug 30–31, 2025 – 4:00 PM, at Broadview Heights City Amphitheater
