Synetic Theater Hosts Pop-Up Speakeasy Tonight

Tonight, February 13 at 7pm as the Synetic Lobby will become the Illyria Speakeasy. Guests will pick up their tickets and give a bouncer the password to enter Illyria, a 1920s-style speakeasy! Music and decor from the era will set the mood and a guest mixologist will keep the signature cocktails flowing at an open bar. At 8pm, guests will head into the theater to take in the 1920s-set Twelfth Night. Costumes are highly encouraged! Tickets for this event are $45-$60 and can be purchased at www.synetictheater.org or 866.811.4111.
Set in the roaring 20s, Twelfth Night tells the tale of fraternal twins, Viola and Sebastian, separated in a strange new land. Having survived a shipwreck and believing her brother Sebastian has been lost, Viola falls hopelessly in love with Duke Orsino and disguises herself as a man to enter his services. Synetic's take on the Shakespeare's Twelfth Night will be a confluence of comedy and tragedy; a social commentary that brings laughter to sobering truth. Synetic co-founders Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili will direct and star in this production, respectively.
