VIENNA — The Vienna Union Hall Association will host the Theater at Monmouth actors in  “Twelfth Night,” a “Shakespeare in Maine Communities” play at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26. Since 2005, TAM has taken the Bard on the road through 60 to 90-minute versions of Shakespeare with five to eight actors.

The theater company has provided literature-based education programs in schools and community centers since the Theater’s founding. Education Tours make adaptations of classic literature accessible to geographically and economically diverse audiences. Plays are fully designed, rehearsed, and tour for a month to schools and community centers.

This is the second year in a row that the traveling theater group has made the Union Hall come alive with their stirring, professional performances. Last year they presented Shakespeare?s “Hamlet” to a sold out house and an incredibly enthusiastic audience.

“Twelfth Night” is Shakespeare?s rollicking tale of wild infatuation and mistaken identities. It 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 stern headmaster, Malvolio. When shipwrecked and separated twins, Viola and Sebastian arrive on the scene, mayhem and misadventure ensue.

The play has been adapted and directed by James Noel Hoban, associate artistic director at TAM. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. There is a discount for children under 12. Seating is limited. For more information, contact [email protected] or call 207-293-2674.
