"Twelfth Night" Shakespeare in the Parks

This fast-paced romantic comedy with several interwoven plots of romance, mistaken identities, practical jokes, and multiple weddings revolves around how unexpected human connections can change who people think they are.

Twelfth Night includes familiar theatrical ruses: a shipwreck, counterfeit letter, misidentification, and a sword fight. But also, the especially funny scene in which dour Malvolio hops around in yellow stockings to entice his beloved, only to be later imprisoned for his lunatic behavior. An evening of laughter shadowed by the forces of grief and melancholy. This play’s affirmation comes in understanding all that must be achieved for desire to reach true fulfillment in a world in which evil exists.

Come to the Roundup City Park softball field -- 9th Avenue & 4th Street East -- Monday, July 11th at 6:30 p.m. See this joyous sunny play to find out if the comic confusion permanently changes and liberates the characters. Bring your lawn chairs and picnic baskets to enjoy live summer theater in Roundup. If the weather is inclement, the play will be performed at the Community Center, 700 3rd Street West.

Roundup Arts & Culture (A & C), a standing committee of the Musselshell Valley Community Foundation (MVCF), brings you Shakespeare in the Park each summer and counts on generous support from local patrons. MVCF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

A & C is looking for additional people for help bring Shakespeare in the Parks and other cultural events to Roundup each year. If you would like to help bring these events to Roundup, please contact Bill Milton at 323-1771.

See you in the park!
