The Mahoning Valley Players are proud to present Shakespeare's “Twelfth Night”, a tale of lust, loss, and confusion. Whilst Lovers fall in and out of love, a pack of Fools rush round, mocking and subverting their passions, hopes and fears. With mistaken identity and deep, terrible heartbreak, the play offers beautiful and painful explorations of everything love inspires. The cast is an assemblage of talented Shakespearean actors from the tri-county area. Held at the Judge Morley Pavilion. Lawn seating, bring a chair or blanket. Free admission.
