The Seeing Place Theater Presents Twelfth Night 3/30-4/16

The Seeing Place Theater, well known for its fly-on-the-wall realism, brings new life to Shakespeare's greatest comedy in this fresh, modern, and ensembe-driven staging of Twelfth Night.

Twelfth Night opens March 30th and plays through April 16th at ATA's Sargent Theater, Wed-Sat @ 8pm, Sat matinees @ 2pm.

The cast features David Arthur Bachrach, Michael Clay, Erin Cronican, Jorge Hoyos, Michael Jefferson, Ben Leasure, Ned Lynch, Nathan Ramos, David Sedgwick, Anna Marie Sell, Lindsay Teed, and BranDon Walker.

Viola has lost the last of her family in a shipwreck off the coast of Illyria. Desperate and alone, she disguises herself as a boy named Cesario and wins employment with the Duke, Orsino - with whom she promptly falls in love. Unfortunately, Orsino is smitten with the Countess Olivia and employs "Cesario" as the envoy of his affections. But Olivia falls for the messenger, leaving Viola to navigate a tricky path around Malvolio (Olivia's puritanical steward, who is trying to climb the social ladder into her bed), Sir Andrew Aguecheek (a rich and foolish knight, championed by Olivia's drunken uncle), and Feste (Olivia's disgruntled ex-jester, who may or may not have figured out the truth about Cesario's identity).

"How will this fadge?" Come find out in this evening of fun, music, and love-struck madness.
The Seeing Place @ ATA's Sargent Theater is located at 314 West 54th Street, 4th Floor. For tickets, priced $15-$18, call (212) 868-4444 or visit www.smarttix.com.
