'Twelfth Night' at the State Theatre

The State Theatre in downtown New Brunswick will show William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" this March.

Performing at Crossroads Theatre as part of an educational outreach program,  BAMA Theatre Co. will perform Shakespeare's romantic comedy at 10 a.m. March 1 for students in seventh through 12th grades, or the equivalent. Homeschoolers also welcome to attend. To register, contact Jennifer Cunha at the State Theatre at (732) 246-7469, ext. 545, or e-mail jcunha@statetheatrenj.org

"Twelfth Night" follows the romantic adventures of Viola and her twin brother Sebastian, both shipwrecked in the kingdom of Illyria. Forced by circumstances to disguise herself as a man, Viola finds herself caught in a complicated love triangle that involves the lovesick Duke Orsino and the beautiful noblewoman Olivia. Meanwhile, in Olivia's household, an alliance of servants and hangers-on plots against her pompous steward, Malvolio.

The show runs for two hours 30 minutes, with a brief question-and-answer section afterward with the actors. All tickets cost $8.
