Executive Artistic Director Carson Kievman has announced that SoBe Institute of the Arts (SoBe Arts) will present 'Twelfth Night' as the first production of an annual Music & Shakespeare series. Dr. Kievman, who will direct 'Twelfth Night,' explains, 'Our Music & Shakespeare series will explore an element of Shakespearean theater that has been lost over the years - that's the interplay between live music and drama. Music was a critical and integral part of the original productions of William Shakespeare, and 'Twelfth Night' is without question the most musical of all of Shakespeare's plays.' Kievman notes that the SoBe Arts production will be integrated with Elizabethan music as it was in Shakespeare's day, and the series will include a free concert and a lecture/discussion.
