UVA Drama’s production of Twelfth Night is not your average play. The classic tale of mistaken identity, true love, and survival is reimagined as a musical with a vibrant, funk-jazz score from Shaina Taub. Chloe Rogers stars as Viola, a young woman who is separated from her twin in a shipwreck, and assumes a male identity as she navigates the fictional oceanside community of Illyria. Illyria’s townspeople are acted by members of De La Roll, Charlottesville Ballet Academy, and Wartime Fitness Warriors.
Through 4/7. $8-14 8pm. Culbreth Theatre, UVA Grounds. drama.virginia.edu
