“THEN THINK YOU RIGHT, I AM NOT WHAT I AM.”
COOS BAY SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK RETURNS WITH TWELFTH NIGHT
Now in their third year, Coos Bay Shakespeare in the Park presents William Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT in Mingus Park in Coos Bay. The production is free to the public and takes place for four performances in July.
Two twins shipwreck on a lost island. From his tower, a love-struck duke woos an icy countess lost to mourning. Below, the fools dance and deceive for a chance at destiny. Hearts beat like tempests, and the whirligig of time will have his revenges.
TWELFTH NIGHT is directed by John Beane and features Amanda McNulty, Scott Peters, Sabrina Gonzalez, Taylor Marchant, Curtis Buell, Kristin Hovenkotter-Greco, Joe Allen, Maxwell Freeman, Hassan Qadir, Jane Stebbins, Alex Dresser, Dylon Bessey, Rebecca Schwartz and David Jordan. It is assistant directed by Brenda Sund with dramaturgy by Nicole Freim and assistance from Daneal Doerr, stage management from Kathy Low, and costumes by Penny Peters.
TWELFTH NIGHT is presented with generous support from the Coquille Tribal Community Fund, Faith Lutheran Church, Farr’s True Value, and local businesses and donors.
Before each show at 3:15 we feature THE GREEN SHOW with the Side of the Tide Morris dancers, the Sapphire Sirens belly dancers, and seafaring shanty singers Finivarra and the Nor’Westers.
This year Coos Bay Shakespeare in the Park and the Coos Bay Public Library offers WORDS, WORDS, WORDS: Speaking Shakespeare’s Speech - a director’s symposium on the effect and communication of Shakespeare’s language, as well as a special look behind the scenes at TWELFTH NIGHT.
TWELFTH NIGHT performs Saturdays and Sundays, July 14, 15, 21, and 22, at 4pm in Mingus Park in Coos Bay. Blankets and picnics welcome. THE GREEN SHOW begins at 3:15PM. WORDS, WORDS, WORDS symposium is on Saturday June 30 from 11AM to 1PM at the Coos Bay Public Library, and after the final TWELFTH NIGHT PERFORMANCE at Mingus Park on July 22.
