Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night June 28
Tennessee Valley Theatre in Spring City will present William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night for one performance on Sunday, June 28, at 2:00 p.m. Cost is $10 per person. For reservations, call 365-PLAY. This high-energy, 6-person adaptation of Shakespeare's popular comedy takes place on the earthy island of Illyria, where impulse and instinct reign, and the characters search for love despite much mischief and misunderstandings. Through Shakespeare's beautiful language and despite the character's blunderings, this timeless romantic comedy reminds us that everything always works out for the best. The cast includes Katie Fridsma, Katie Cheely, Rob Arbough, Chad Rasor, Rachel Arbough and Alaska Vance. The Drifting Theatre Company (based out of Kingsport, TN) and Uncovered Theatre Company (a theater company that will call Chicago home next year) have teamed up this summer to tour through seven states in the US, bringing shows and workshops to schools, churches, and theatres.
