TWELFTH NIGHT To Be Presented at New Hampshire Theatre Project
Director Kat Mail helms Shakespeare's comedy, set on a nostalgic seaside boardwalk in Illyria.
Dive In Productions will present a new twist on one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies with their upcoming run of Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night will be presented at New Hampshire Theatre Project from May 15-31.
Performances are Fridays at 7:30pm, Saturdays at 2:30pm and 7:30pm, and Sundays at 2:30pm. Tickets are $32 general admission and $28 for students, seniors, and industry, available at www.nhtheatreproject.org.
Dive In's Twelfth Night brings audiences to a nostalgic seaside boardwalk, where flickering lights, salt air, music drifting down the planks, and a close-knit crew keeps the carnival alive. At the center of this world is a chosen family of boardwalk folk: people who work together, fight together, celebrate together, and survive together. When a shipwrecked outsider washes up on their shore, mistaken identities and romantic chaos ripple through the community.
As disguises deepen and love triangles intertwine, the line between appearance and reality blurs. Twelfth Night invites audiences to laugh, swoon, and experience Shakespeare at his most fun.
“Our Twelfth Night evokes the magic of found family,” says director Kat Mail. “For our characters, the Illyria Boardwalk is a chosen home where strangers become family through love, mischief, and the beautiful chaos of connection. That sense of community has taken root in our cast as well, and you can feel their connection and joy in every moment onstage.”
Sean Robinson, Executive Artistic Director of New Hampshire Theatre Project added, “We are so excited to be partnering with Dive In Productions again this May, after a long series of successful co-productions.
Last year's Romeo and Juliet was a hit, and we can't wait to welcome them back for this year's Shakespearean entry, Twelfth Night. NHTP is proud to present a wide variety of talented and inspired guest performers throughout our season, and being able to host the crew of passionate and multi-talented artists from Dive In Productions is always an absolute pleasure."
