Twelfth Night

Presented by Austin Creative Alliance at Ramsey Park Pavilion

Come to Ramsey Park for a lively Shakespearean comedy that’s full of music, mistaken identity, mayhem, multiple marriages, madcap mischief, and mirth!

Something for Nothing Theater presents Twelfth Night under the summer stars for three weekends in June. Travel to Illyria, where multiple suitors desperately court a grieving heiress, while her family and servants scheme to teach the town’s wet blanket a lesson he won’t soon forget. What will happen when a shipwreck at sea throws a captivating stranger (or two) onto the shores of this town already on the brink of complete absurdity? You have 9 chances to find out!

The tradition of free Shakespeare in Ramsey Park continues with the 2018 summer show. Something for Nothing Theater produces plays with minimal props, costumes, and lighting, focusing instead on storytelling, and the wonderful language of Shakespeare. As always, the show will be under two hours. Bring a blanket or chairs, pack a picnic, invite some friends, and enjoy a delightful journey to the distant yet familiar land of Illyria!

Accessibility Info

This is an outdoor park venue, but the grounds are well kept and wheelchair accessible. The main exception would be if the park is ever inundated with heavy rains prior to a performance. That could potentially make the ground too soft for chairs, walkers, or canes in main seating area.

Audience is encouraged to bring their favorite outdoor seating. (People have even brought beanbag chairs!)

Parking is on the street. So vehicles with side ramps will have an easier time finding parking than vehicles with rear ramps.

Friendly dogs are welcome.
