Description
William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a comedic tale of mistaken identity and unrequited love centered on Viola, a young woman shipwrecked in Illyria who disguises herself as a young man named Cesario to survive. Entering the service of Duke Orsino, Viola finds herself trapped in a chaotic love triangle: she secretly falls for Orsino, who is desperately pursuing the countess Olivia, who in turn falls madly in love with the disguised Viola. The comic confusion reaches a peak when Viola’s identical twin brother, Sebastian, arrives in town alive, leading to hilarious misunderstandings that are finally resolved when the twins reunite, the disguises are dropped, and everyone is happily matched.

The Newtowne Players
The mission of the Newtowne Players is to promote all aspects of the performing arts in Southern Maryland. We provide an outlet for people in the community who are interested in theatre in any capacity at all. Whether their interest is performing, directing, writing, make up, costume design or technical support, we provide opportunities for all through education, growth and hands on experience of working as a volunteer in any of these areas of theatre. In the process, we provide quality entertainment to the surrounding communities. Our goal is to foster, promote and increase the public knowledge and appreciation of the arts and cultural activities in St. Mary's County and Southern Maryland, and to make live theatre affordable and available to as many members of the surrounding communities as possible.
