Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre Presents:

“Twelfth Night”

At the CCA Black Box Theater

February 28 - March 8, 2014  

 

SAN DIEGO (January 10, 2014) – Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) Envision Theatre is thrilled to present William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", Guest Directed by Jason Maddy from February 28 - March 8, 2014 at the CCA Black Box Theatre. The production team also includes Jeremy Sewell (CCA Technical Director/Set Designer) and CCA Students Mandy Wirt (Assistant Director) and  Kara Mendez (Stage Manager).  

THE STORY

Twelfth Night or What you will is William Shakespeare’s most musical Play and believed to be his final Comedy.  A lifetime of Will Shakespeare’s experimenting with the tools of comedic story telling lead us to Viola’s journey of Loss, Mistaken Identity and Foolery, on the island of Iliyria,  shared with some of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters and complimented by the early music of Billy Joel.
