Production fuses Shakespeare’s poetry and soulful score by Shaina Taub.

The Ithaca College Center for Theatre and Dance continues its 2022-23 season with a musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” This production is directed by Courtney Young, associate professor of theatre and dance performance, with music direction by Jeff Theiss, assistant professor of theatre and dance performance. Presented in the Clark Theatre, performances run select dates between March 29 and April 4.

Hailed as the best theatrical production in 2018 by The Washington Post, Time, and The Hollywood Reporter, “Twelfth Night” is a vibrant and entertaining adaptation of William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy conceived by Kwame Kwei-Armah and Shaina Taub.
