Viola has a problem. Shipwrecked on the coast of Ilyria, California, Viola disguises herself as a man and begins working for the city's Duke, Orsino, whom she quickly falls for. Orsino, however, is hopelessly in love with the beautiful society woman Olivia, despite her repeated rejections. In an attempt to win Olivia’s heart, Orsino sends Viola to deliver another message on his behalf. But things take an unexpected turn when Olivia falls for Viola thinking she's a man. What follows is a rollercoaster of confusion, romance, and self-discovery. This production reimagines Shakespeare's classic tale as a 1970s fantasy and highlights the play’s exploration of love and mistaken identities through the lens of a decade that defined both personal freedom and expressive individuality. This production features direction by Rebecca Bernstein, original music by Jake Cummings and Tristan Flores, intimacy coordination by Andrew Roblyer, costume design by Mariah Harmony, and a cast of thirteen incredible actors, including several ZSP debut performances. Join us for a night of laughs and nostalgic music!
