The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center (MMCC) will present “Twelfth Night” on Jan. 30, featuring actors from the Atlanta Shakespeare Company.
“Twelfth Night” is an endearing Shakespeare comedy that follows the adventures of twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated after a shipwreck that leaves both thinking the other has drowned.
Viola poses as a man to serve Duke Orsino, only for Olivia (Orsino’s love) to fall for Viola. When Sebastian arrives on the scene, it leads to chaotic hilarity and ultimately a happy ending.
The Atlanta Shakespeare Company received rave reviews for its production of “Twelfth Night,” with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution calling the production “a show that’s delightful, musical, quick, hilarious, and energized by cast members having a great time.”
Mary Ruth Ralston directs the MMCC production, which features a cast led by Alejandra Ruiz as Viola, Niko Carleo as Sebastian, and Anna Holland as Olivia. Atlanta Shakespeare Company’s “Twelfth Night” is sponsored by Dr. Pamela Hall, Main Street Vet, Madison Realty, and the Murphy Foundation.
The MMCC will present “Twelfth Night” on Friday, Jan. 30, with doors open at 6:30 p.m. for a 7 p.m. show start. Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for students and can be purchased at mmcc-arts.org/event-list/atlanta-shakespeare-companys-twelfth-night.
