Klein Theatre
STC Academy Summer Repertory
The Shakespeare Theatre Company Academy is a Master of Fine Arts program that trains actors to work with classical language and embody mythic storytelling. This is classical work in its purest form: energetic and lean, with a focus on actors, language, and story.
After completing a one-year intensive program of coursework spanning classical text study, stage combat, and more, the Class of 2026 performs two plays in repertory as the culmination of their training: Macbeth and Twelfth Night.
Twelfth Night
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Jess Chayes
It starts with a shipwreck; it ends with a double wedding. When Viola washes ashore and disguises herself as a man, she sets off a chain of mistaken identities, sexual desire, and romantic chaos that make this Shakespeare’s most enduring and lyrical comedy. Directed by Jess Chayes (STC’s Jane Anger), Twelfth Night is Shakespeare at his most irresistible.
Runtime: Approximately two hours and 45 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission.
