🎭 Central Piedmont Theatre Welcomes You to William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” 🌟

Posted on by

Twelfth Night logoOne of William Shakespeare’s most celebrated comedies, “Twelfth Night” is a tale of mistaken identity, love, and the revelry of the festive season.

The play unfolds when a young woman named Viola washes up on the shores of far-off Illyric. Believing her twin brother Sebastian perished in the wreck, Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario to navigate the unfamiliar land. Employed by Duke Orsino, Viola (now Cesario) is charged with communicating Orsino’s attempts to woo the Countess Olivia.

However, a twist ensues when Olivia, captivated by Cesario’s charm, falls in love with the disguised Viola. The plot thickens as Viola herself is smitten with Orsino, creating a triangle of unrequited love.

College and high school students are admitted free with a student ID at the door.

Central Piedmont Theatre is Excited to Present “Chess, The Musical!”

Posted on by

“Chess” is a rock musical with music by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA, lyrics by Tim Rice, and a book by Richard Nelson based on an idea by Rice. The story involves a politically driven, Cold War–era chess tournament between two grandmasters from America and the USSR and their fight over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other. From Bangkok to Budapest the players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score that includes “One Night in Bangkok” and “Heaven Help My Heart.”

“One of the best rock scores ever produced. This is an angry, difficult, demanding and rewarding show.” – TIME
