About Original Practice Shakespeare Festival:

OPS Fest brings FREE, family-friendly Shakespeare to parks all over the Portland metro area. The company uses the original practice techniques of Elizabethan England: limited rehearsal, scrolls in hand, audience interaction, and an onstage prompter/"referee." Gender fluid casting is our jam, and you'll never see the same show twice! See our full season schedule here.

Twelfe Night in 50 words:

Orsino loves Olivia (unrequitedly). Twins, Viola and Sebastian, are shipwrecked. Viola disguises as boy, works for Orsino, and Olivia falls in love with them. Olivia's uncle and friends trick Malvolio into thinking Olivia loves him. Olivia (confused) marries Sebastian. Twins reunite and Viola's identity is revealed; Orsino proposes to Viola.

Join us for this small-cast, shortened version, running about 75 minutes. Perfect for a picnic at the park! BYO chairs or blanket.

Twelfe Night (Abridged) at 2pm
