The "SHAKESPEARE ON THE POINT" Actors Workshop is directed by Hannah Ryan, our Director of Education. The workshop is designed for actors of all skill levels. The goal of the workshop is to improve the actors skills through a focus on script analysis, character development, costuming, and ensemble performance before a live audience.

 

The "SHAKESPEARE ON THE POINT" Actors Workshop project will be Twelfth Night, the wonderful comedy of William Shakespeare. Twelfth Night will be performed by the workshop members at 4 public performances in and around Point Loma and Ocean Beach.  

 

Members of the workshop will be cast in one or more of the following roles:

Notes on The Characters

VIOLA -  A young woman of aristocratic birth, and the play's protagonist. Washed up on the shore of Illyria when her ship is wrecked in a storm, Viola decides to make her own way in the world. She disguises herself as a young man, calling herself "Cesario," and becomes a page to Duke Orsino.

ORSINO -  A powerful nobleman in the country of Illyria. Orsino is lovesick for the beautiful Lady Olivia, but becomes more and more fond of his handsome new page boy, Cesario, who is actually a woman-Viola.

OLIVIA -  A wealthy, beautiful, and noble Illyrian lady, Olivia is courted by Orsino and Sir Andrew Aguecheek, but to each of them she insists that she is in mourning for her brother, who has recently died, and will not marry for seven years.

SEBASTIAN -  Viola's lost twin brother. When he arrives in Illyria, traveling with Antonio, his close friend and protector, Sebastian discovers that many people think that they know him. Furthermore, the beautiful Lady Olivia, whom he has never met, wants to marry him.

MALVOLIO -  The straitlaced steward-or head servant-in the household of Lady Olivia. Malvolio is very efficient but also very self-righteous, and he has a poor opinion of drinking, singing, and fun.

FESTE -  The clown, or fool, of Olivia's household, Feste moves between Olivia's and Orsino's homes. He earns his living by making pointed jokes, singing old songs, being generally witty, and offering good advice cloaked under a layer of foolishness.

SIR TOBY -  Olivia's uncle. Olivia lets Sir Toby Belch live with her, but she does not approve of his rowdy behavior, practical jokes, heavy drinking, late-night carousing, or friends (specifically the idiotic Sir Andrew).

MARIA -  Olivia's clever, daring young waiting-gentlewoman.
Sir Andrew Aguecheek  -  A friend of Sir Toby's. Sir Andrew Aguecheek attempts to court Olivia, but he doesn't stand a chance.

ANTONIO -  A man who rescues Sebastian after his shipwreck. Antonio has become very fond of Sebastian, caring for him, accompanying him to Illyria, and furnishing him with money.

FABIAN- Servant to Olivia.

VALENTINE- a gentleman of Orsino's.
