Twelfth Night at Clarice Smith, Feb 26 & 27

Twelfth Night at Clarice Smith, Feb 26 & 27

Filter in Association with the Royal Shakespeare Company presents
Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare

Fri, Feb 26, 2016 . 8:00PM
Sat, Feb 27, 2016 . 8:00PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Dance Theatre, General Admission.

Warning: loud noises.

A venerable institution teams up with an upstart theater company to create an explosive, radically-cut, fast-paced version of Shakespeare’s comedy of mistaken identity in which nothing is hidden. Everything is revealed. The stage is awash with cables and instruments, costume changes occur in front of the audience and performance decisions are made on the hoof.

Combined, the live chemistry between actors, audience, text and sound explode into a vital and exhilarating theatrical experience. In Filter’s hands, Twelfth Night is constantly shifting and never the same twice.

“Filter’s lo-fi, 90min remix of Shakespeare’s comedy infects the audience with the play’s celebratory spirit of madness from the start…You leave feeling slightly changed yourself.” — The Metro (London)

Tickets: Regular: $25, Student: $10.

Rockbridge Academy presents their 2016 musical production, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown! The musical will be performed February 25-27, 2016. For those of you who are not familiar with the musical version of this beloved comic, you are in for a great treat. This musical majors in laughter, simplicity, friendship, and childhood – all infused with the ageless wisdom of Charles Schultz. Broadway audiences loved the 1999 revival version, and the show was nominated in 14 categories for the Tonys that year. We will be performing the 1999 version for our very own audiences, and it is appropriate and fun for all ages from preschool to great-grandparents!

Ticket prices are $15 for adults and $13 for children 12 and under.

Tickets may be purchased at the box office 1 hour before each show or online at: https://www.rockbridge.org/ticket-sales
