William Shakespeare’s iconic Twelfth Night, adapted & directed by Travis Xavier, “Love moves us the way Music makes us feel.” 

Twin brother and sister, Sebastian and Viola are on a long road trip, heading back to New York, when their motorcycle breaks down. As Sebastian, “Went to find help,” Viola finds herself stuck at Illyria High School, a rural and obscure place where position, power, and passion play the chords on all the strings of our players' hearts. Viola disguises herself as a mime to fit into Orsino’s Elite Drama club without being noticed. What follows is a whirlwind of mistaken identities, messy love triangles, comedic antics taken too far, High School politics and lovestruck romantic chaos. Regarded as one Shakespeare’s greatest comedies, Twelfth Night is a heartwarming romantic tale about love, mischief, and being true to thyself–this time set in a 1980s High School!
