A musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, a classic story of love and mistaken identity. Named one of the best theatrical productions of 2018 by Time, The Hollywood Reporter and The Washington Post, Twelfth Night is a rousing contemporary musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy about mistaken identity and self-discovery. Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, a young heroine who washes up on the shores of Illyria, disguises herself as a man, is sent to court a countess and falls hard for a Duke. As she navigates this strange and wonderful new land, she finds her true self and true love in the process.

[Dayton]

Cast: John Detty as Ash, Shana Fishbein as Linda, Sarah Roddey as Cheryl, Jake Spicer as Scotty, Madison Stapleton as Shelly, Jessica Detty as Annie, Matthew Ebersbach as Jake, Naman Clark as Ed/Moose & A Special Guest as Professor Knowby

Five college students spend the weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods, accidentally unleashing an evil terror. In this comedic take on the legendary horror franchise, characters and demons sing and dance to songs written specifically for the musical. The musical takes creative liberty with the plot line of the movies, mixing the characters and concepts of all three, as well as changing sequences for the sake of the stage and comedic intent. Roughly, the first act adapts the original The Evil Dead while the second act adapts Evil Dead II. The show contains large amounts of swearing, violence, and blood effects.
