San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre’s Academy of Creative Theatre presents its production of Twelfth Night from Jan. 10 to 19.
The ensemble of local students offers a fresh interpretation of one of Shakespeare’s classic comedies, SLO REP said in a press release. Set in Illyria, the comedy about love, identity, and mischief tells the story of Viola, a shipwrecked young woman who disguises herself as a man and enters the service of Duke Orsino.
Directed by Shannon Peters, the production emphasizes themes of love, gender, and self-discovery.
“We are thrilled to offer this opportunity for students to engage with one of Shakespeare’s most joyous and complex plays,” SLO REP Managing Artistic Director Kevin Harris said in the release. “Twelfth Night is a beautiful exploration of love, identity, and the confusion that comes with it.”
