Oak Park Festival Theatre Announces Cast & Crew of TWELFTH NIGHT, OR WHAT YOU WILL

The Oak Park Festival Theatre has announced the cast and Production Team of its Summer 2025 production, one of William Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, TWELFTH NIGHT, OR WHAT YOU WILL.

Orsino is in love with the Countess Olivia, and sends Viola to court her for him, but Olivia falls for Viola instead. Sebastian arrives, causing a flood of mistaken identity, and marries Olivia. Viola then reveals she is a girl and marries Orsino.
