Slipstream Theatre Initiative to Present TWELFTH NIGHT

Just in time for the winter holidays, Slipstream Theatre Initiative kicks off its second season with the festive Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. In the true spirit of 'The Epiphany' on which the "twelfth night" holiday and play were based, this production serves up joy and awakenings through a ring of fire. Slipstream sets the action in a run-down traveling sideshow, where the dried out performers have outlived their novelty. Until two mysterious outsiders from who-knows-where join the tired act and give it new life.

The cast for this ensemble features founding Slipstream members Ryan Ernst, Luna Alexander and Steve Xander Carson as Sebastian, Viola and Sir Toby, respectively. Returning to the Slipstream season are Graham Todd, Victoria Rose Weatherspoon, Tiaja Sabrie, Patrick Flanagan and Laura Heikkinen. Joining the young company are original twelfth-nighters Joshua Daniel Palmer and Miles Bond. Direction and costumes are by Bailey Boudreau with assistant direction by Meghan Lynch. Production design and execution are by Ryan Ernst.

It's a celebratory time of year, and the folks at Slipstream are celebrating the way they love best - as freaks in a sideshow. Come join these gallivanting heathens as they tumble, dance, and vie for one another's attention...and yours! Twelfth Night opens Saturday, December 12th and runs Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays through January 4th, with a special Tuesday, January 5th closing night, on the actual Twelfth Night holiday. Saturday shows are at 8 PM with Sundays and Mondays (and closing Tuesday) at 7 PM. Tickets are $12 in advance only and available via www.slipstreamti.com or by emailing InsideTheSlipstream@gmail.com . Slipstream Theatre Initiative is located at 460 Hilton in Ferndale. Join us as we bring in a new year in a new space and with a new season!
