This May, the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve Amphitheater comes alive with the breathtaking magic of Shakespearean theater. Visit Johns Creek is proud to be a sponsor as Contemporary Classics Theater returns with its beloved Shakespeare in the Park series, showcasing a vibrant production of Twelfth Night.
Twelfth Night is a timeless tale filled with drama, mistaken identities, practical jokes, and plenty of laughs. This year’s production is directed by Cait Cortelyou, best known for her award-winning film Ask for Jane, Twelfth Night. The production brings a fresh and inclusive take to Shakespeare’s classic tale, making for an equally touching and entertaining show. The cast features an extraordinarily talented group of actors, including Elliott Posadni, who made history as one of the first transgender actors to play the role of Viola. With live music woven throughout the performance, this take on Shakespeare’s classic promises to be both moving and unforgettable.
