The Classical Theatre of Harlem: Twelfth Night

Why you shouldn’t miss this!

This is one of those productions that make you feel lucky to be in New York.

The New York Times

The Classical Theatre of Harlem’s acclaimed, award-winning production of Shakespeare’s raucous comedy returns for a limited two-week engagement. Hailed as “fizzy and fun” (NY Times), CTH’s Twelfth Night abounds with hilarity, mistaken identities, dance, and the intoxicating madness of love.

The recipient of two 2022 AUDELCO awards, CTH’s celebrated mounting stars Tony Award-nominee Kara Young (The Cost of Living, Clyde), whose performance as Viola was cited as a “Best of 2022” by The New York Times. The production is directed by 2022 AUDELCO Award-winner Carl Cofield.
