Mile Square Theatre presents Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"

Mile Square Theatre Returns to the Hudson River Waterfront with Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

Mile Square Theatre, Hudson County's premiere professional theatre company, returns to Frank Sinatra Park in Hoboken with a free, open-air production of Shakespeare's beloved cross-dressing comedy of true love,Twelfth Night. Set in 19th century Hoboken, the production imagines a resort destination where Orsino and Olivia leisurely while away the summer hours in the pursuit of love.

Directed by MST Artistic Director Chris O'Connor, the cast will feature MST audience favorites, with Matthew Lawler (God of Carnage, The Pavilion) as the puritanical Malvolio, Charlie Kevin (God of Carnage, It's a Wonderful Life) as Sir Toby Belch, John Keller (It's a Wonderful Life, Banner Yet Wave) as Orsino, and Jen Ring (Rikki Tikki Tavi, Flare) as Fabiana. Rounding out the cast is NYC actor and circus performer Peter Daniel Straus (Ringling Brothers Circus, The Letterman Show) as Feste the Clown. Twelfth Night will feature original music composed by MST resident composer Sean Hagerty (A Christmas Carol, The Pavilion).
