Weston Theater Company to Premiere THE TWELFTH NIGHT SHOW This Fall

Weston Theater Company will present the world premiere of THE TWELFTH NIGHT SHOW, a genre-blending, music-filled reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic comedy, running September 26–October 12, 2025, at Walker Farm.

Created by Weston Writers’ Retreat alumni Megumi Nakamura and Jacob Brandt, the show follows a band’s last-chance effort to save their beloved theater, where mistaken identities, tangled love lives, and original music collide. Four musicians are thrust into the spotlight in this joyous new comedy, proving that the show must—and will—go on.

Nakamura (Mary Jane on Broadway; directing credits include Sulfur Bottom and Anne Frank in Mt. Vernon, OH) also directs. She shared, “It has been a gift to work on a show that focuses on education, for all ages, through the lenses of joy and comedy—all things which we can use more of right now. The Twelfth Night Show truly has something for everyone, and we can't wait to invite audiences to laugh with us, tap their toes, and experience a brand-new story about the delights and challenges of keeping a classic play alive.”
