SHAKESPEARE SINGS AND LOVE WINS
If musicals be the food of love, let this groundbreaking adaptation of Shakespeare’s most cherished comedy play on! When noblewoman Viola finds herself shipwrecked, she decides to disguise herself as the male page Cesario to blend in. Her decision triggers literature’s most hilarious love triangle and inspires the people of Illyria to see life through the eyes of another. This production not only enchants with its catchy pop score but also introduces Pittsburgh to the transformative Public Works program. Through community collaboration, this theatrical marvel becomes a celebration that is truly for, by, and of the people. Revel in the magic of love, laughter, and fellowship in this unmissable spectacle.
Rated PG for mild swearing, crude humor, suggestive dialogue, violence, alcohol use, and themes of death and grief.
Public Works is made possible through the generous support of the Richard King Mellon Foundation.
