Twelfth Night

Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night has been reimagined so many times, but this version actually feels like it belongs to the city right now. Shaina Taub’s jazz-funk score doesn’t just update the play—it gives it a pulse that’s impossible to ignore. Viola’s journey through mistaken identities and tangled affections is still at the heart of it, but the music and staging make the old story feel urgent and alive. The cast leans into the comedy without losing the bittersweet edge, and the live band keeps things moving with a groove that’s more block party than drawing room. If you’ve seen Twelfth Night before, you haven’t seen it like this: the energy is infectious, the jokes land, and the whole thing feels like a celebration of finding your people in unexpected places. Bring friends, bring family, but don’t expect a sleepy night at the theater.
