MONMOUTH — Theater at Monmouth’s production of “Twelfth Night” is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

Shakespeare’s rollicking tale of wild infatuation and mistaken identities is set at Illyria University where Orsino pines for the love of Olivia. At sister school, Illyria College for Women, Olivia mourns her late brother and rejects all suitors under the watchful eye of her stern dean, Malvolio. When shipwrecked and separated twins, Viola and Sebastian arrive on the scene, mayhem and misadventure ensue.

Preview performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, October 10. Other performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 11 and 12; and 1 p.m.  Oct. 12 and 13.
