Shakespeare’s classic comedy Twelfth Night opens in Claremont on July 15th at the Sontag Greek Theatre, on the campus of Pomona College in Claremont.
Prior to the performance, the venue will be open early to accommodate picnickers, with booths featuring artists and artisanal vendors. There will also be a nightly Green Show (a pre- show entertainment). Concessions including craft beer, wine and snacks will be available.
For the uninitiated Twelfth night is a romantic comedy centering on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as Cesario) falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her, thinking she is a man. The play is filled with romance and laughs will make the ideal entry point to Shakespeare’s works.
Covid safety protocols current on opening date will be observed.
