About What You Will: Shakespeare is in quarantine just like you! That won't stop him and his actors from making some theatre magic with you from home! Emit Theatre's digital retelling of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night allows families to enjoy this classic story retold with a contemporary audience in mind, right from the comfort of your own home. Kids will be able to play along and help characters throughout the course of each weekly episode. Each episode runs approximately 15 minutes. A short pre-show activity will take place at the start of each episode.

All of Emit Theatre's productions are built to be engaging for multiple ages and abilities and allow audiences to experience plays in their own ways. All audience members are encouraged to become active participants in the story. Fun for everyone, crafted for ages 7-10.

What You Will is the first production in the ongoing Play Along Series. Created in response to the PAUSE order, Emit Theatre is committed to continuing this series after social distancing is lifted, allowing access to those for whom live theater is not always accessible.
