A memorable night awaits Roanokers who attend Roanoke County’s “Summer Stock Theatre” performance of the Shakespearean play “Twelfth Night” and a traditional Elizabethan meal. The performance will take place outdoors at Camp Roanoke in Salem on Saturday August 20.
A true Shakespearean classic, “Twelfth Night” is filled with catchy songs, dozens of colorful characters, hilarious moments and some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful poetry.
The show will be performed by “Tailgate Shakespeare.” The troupe travels around Virginia offering exceptional Shakespearean performances with no set, minimal props and live music, much as Shakespeare’s original actorswould have done.
A traditional Elizabethan meal will also be available that evening. The menu choices are Chicken Pie or Poached Salmon both with Bread, Compound Sallet (salad), and Rice Pudding.
The show plus the catered meal will be available for $17 per person, or $7 for admission only, in which case you may bring your own picnic dinner. Children under five years of age are admitted free. Dinner reservations must be made by Monday August 15; however theater only tickets will also be available at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the outdoor performance will begin at 7 p.m.
So bring your own lawn chairs or blankets and sit back and enjoy great theater and a fabulous night!
