“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Your fate awaits you!” Prairie Players Civic Theatre proudly presents Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at their theater at 160 S. Seminary Street in Galesburg.
In this 1920s jazz club rendition of Twelfth Night, the glamorous world of speakeasies and flappers sets the stage for Shakespeare’s classic tale of mistaken identity, grief, unrequited love, cowardice, impersonation, and pranks—all the elements needed for a rollicking love story. Echoing the play’s lively twists and turns is music from the Jazz Age and the American Song Book.
Directed by Betsy Hippely with music direction by Garrett Sprinkle, you can see Twelfth Night November 15-17 and 22-24. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 P.M. and Sunday performances begin at 2:00 P.M. Tickets are $16 for adults and $9 for students plus fees.
The cast includes: Iris Berto, Kwintyn Essex, Kamele’okekai Lattig, Damon Moore, Gregory Herrington, Charlie Vestal, Cameron Dunlap, Joylinn Reynolds, Stephanie Liljedahl, Gary Mustain, Zion Clarke, Tim Holmes, Aidan Nolan, and Kwintyn Essex.
Twelfth Night is supported by our generous sponsor, Tri States Public Radio. Prairie Players Civic Theatre also acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council. These partnerships are essential to our mission of creating affordable, quality productions that enrich our community.
