One of Shakespeare’s finest comedies, Twelfth Night is a fast-paced romantic comedy with several interwoven plots of romance, mistaken identities and practical jokes. Viola thinks her brother is dead. He thinks that she is dead. Everyone thinks that she is her brother. Everyone thinks that her brother is her. Shenanigans ensue!
Twelfth Night is generously underwritten by Jeff & Connie Pecsar, in honor of their love of theatre in general, and of Lakeside Little Theatre in particular. Connie’s first exposure to live performances of Shakespearean plays was while living and working in London in the early 1970’s. They are thrilled to be part of welcoming Shakespeare to LLT.

In parallel tales of obsession, musicologist Katherine Brandt attempts to uncover the motivation behind Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, a series of 33 variations on an ordinary waltz by a composer he felt was beneath him.
Drama, memory and music combine to transport you from present-day New York to nineteenth-century Austria in this extraordinary American play about passion, parenthood and the moments of beauty that can transform a life.
33 Variations has been generously underwritten by Sandra Jakubek in memory of Peggy Lord Chilton.
