Oh... how I wish I could have been in this show! Sadly, I was up north visiting relatives over the holiday. While I was busy wrapping Christmas presents and getting soggy in the wet and windy Seattle weather, a different kind of storm has been brewing at the Canyon Theatre Guild:
A shipwreck off the coast of Illyria leaves Viola thinking her twin brother is dead. Disguising herself as her dead brother, she becomes an attendant to Duke Orsino, the ruler of Illyria. Duke Orsino sends Viola (now known as Caesario in her disguise as a boy), to the Lady Olivia, with whom he is in love. Things become complicated when Olivia falls in love with Viola, who she thinks is a man, and Viola falls in love with Duke Orsino, who also thinks she is a man. When her twin brother, who is not dead after all, turns up, things become even more confusing. Add to this Sir Toby Belch, Olivia’s drunken uncle, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek, who also has his eye on Olivia, along with Maria, and Fabian, servants to Olivia, and Feste, a melancholy clown, all seeking revenge on the head servant Malvolio, and you have the recipe for total chaos and confusion!
Performed by the "UPSTART CROWS," a group of actors dedicated to classic theatre, the cast includes Kelly Bader, Robert Clark, Alexis Crane, Joshua DiPaola, Andrew Fish, Jason Goldberg, Jeff Johnson, Mike Keane, Tim Kendall, David Kenny, Amanda Kramer, Kamber Moen, Joe Roseland, Brian Watts, and Raquel Westlake. The production is under the direction of Mike Davies and Tamarah Ashton-Coombs.
