Washington Square Park, Holly Plaza
West 4th St to Waverly Pl
New York, NY 10003
Cost: Free
For all ages
Undergraduate students from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts will be presenting William Shakespeare's classic comedy Twelfth Night, or What You Will, the gender-bending tale wherein Olivia falls in love with Cesario (who is actually Viola in disguise). The production is entirely student-run and will be staged in Washington Square Park's Holly Plaza, per the vision of Shakespeare in the Square's student founders, who wanted to present the Bard's works the way they were originally meant to be performed: "under the sun and in front of a loud, standing, possibly distracted audience." (This is the romantic explanation for why there is no seating, but you could always improvise or bring your own.)
