Viola

Our clever heroine. Shipwrecked and believing her twin brother is dead, Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario to work for Duke Orsino. 

Sebastian

Viola’s twin brother. Thought to be lost at sea, he eventually washes up and adds fuel to the fire of mistaken identities. Identical to Viola, but not in disguise.

Duke Orsino

The lovesick nobleman of Illyria. He’s head-over-heels for Lady Olivia but sends Cesario (Viola in disguise) to woo her on his behalf.

Olivia

A wealthy countess mourning her brother until Cesario shows up at her door. She falls hard for the “young man”…not knowing Cesario is actually Viola.

Malvolio

Olivia’s uptight steward. Proper, prim, and painfully serious… until a prank leads him to believe Olivia is in love with him. 

Sir Toby Belch

Olivia’s fun-loving uncle. He enjoys late-night parties, practical jokes, and giving Malvolio a hard time. 

Maria

Olivia’s sharp-witted lady-in-waiting. She's the mastermind behind the prank on Malvolio and the only one who can keep Sir Toby in check.

Sir Andrew Aguecheek

Sir Toby’s not-so-bright drinking buddy. He’s trying (and failing) to woo Olivia, but mostly provides comic relief and bad dance moves.

Feste

The fool or perhaps the wisest one of them all. Olivia’s jester who sings, jokes, and slips in cutting truths while everyone else gets tangled in love.

Antonio

A sea captain who rescues Sebastian and becomes deeply devoted to him. Honest, loyal, and caught in the wrong identity crisis.

Ensemble Members:
