One twist of fate. Two twins. Countless lies.
After a shipwreck separates twins Viola and Sebastian, each believes the other has died. Viola disguises herself as a young man and that’s when everything begins to unravel. Add an impossible love triangle, a pompous servant, a mischievous prank, and several wonderfully confused characters, and you have Shakespeare’s hilarious romantic comedy Twelfth Night!

✨ Before Peter Pan, there was imagination. ✨
Finding Neverland tells the inspiring story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters. Struggling playwright J.M. Barrie finds unexpected inspiration in four spirited young brothers and their widowed mother. With a little imagination, and a great deal of courage, he creates the magical world of Peter Pan and discovers that growing up doesn’t have to mean losing the child within.

Filled with soaring music, breathtaking moments, humor, heart, and a little pixie dust, this beautiful musical reminds us that every great story begins with one impossible idea. Based upon the Miramax film.

Experience Finding Neverland, presented by Saltwater Performing Arts’ award-winning Mainstage troupe!
✨ 8 performances

Shakespeare… but make it a romantic comedy! 🩶

Twelfth Night has just about everything: a shipwreck, separated twins, mistaken identities, ridiculous love triangles, disguises, pranks, music, and people falling hopelessly in love with exactly the WRONG person.

If you think Shakespeare is stuffy, serious, or intimidating, this is the show that may change your mind. Twelfth Night is playful, romantic, mischievous, and genuinely funny.

⚓ Come play with us!
Auditions September 6 & 7 at Friese Studio of Music.
No experience required. Just bring a prepared monologue and a willingness to have some fun.
