Twelfth Night at San Diego Junior Theatre

Twelfth Night gives us one of Shakespeares most remarkable heroines, the quick-witted Viola, who assumes the disguise of a page boy for Duke Orsino and finds herself at the center of an explosive love triangle in which identity, passion and gender all threaten to come undone.Merriam Webster's Word of the Year is they,' the gender neutral pronoun used in place of 'he' or 'she.' The themes of gender frequently appear in Shakespeares plays and are part of the plot in Twelfth Night. San Diego Junior Theatre's production will explore gender identity through Shakespeares text and gender-fluid casting. Recommended for ages 13 and older.*Post-show talkbacks on Saturday, January 11 and 18 featuring the cast, Mick Rabin from the Department of Youth Advocacy, Twelfth Night Director Justin Lang, and another TBA panelist.*ASL-Interpreted performance, 2pm, Saturday, January 18, 2020.
