Each year, Truman Theatre packs up a show tailored to young audiences and performs it for young people around the state. Join us when we return from our tour for our four-night stand in the Black Box theatre.
Shipwrecks, disguises, and wild animal antics abound in “Lions in Illyria,” a hilarious, family-friendly retelling of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” Follow Violet, a brave young lioness, as she navigates a world of lovestruck peacocks, graceful gazelles, and ridiculous warthogs. Packed with music, mischief, and heart, this magical comedy brings Shakespeare’s classic tale to life in a land where animals rule and anything can happen.
