The Stonington Community Center is excited to again partner with The Glass Eye, a New York City production company, to present the 2nd Annual Shakespeare on the Beach events this June. On Saturday, June 25th and Sunday, June 26th at 6 p.m. join them on duBois Beach in the Stonington Borough for the event of the summer. The Glass Eye is led by Stonington-native and former COMO Kid, Kyle Metzger, who is eager to share his passion for theater with the locals of his beloved hometown. This year will be the premiere of his new take on Twelfth Night. The take is quite fitting for our quaint little village, as the production will be set in a New England seaside town in the 1930s. The production harkens back to the era of musical comedy, a la Cole Porter’s Anything Goes. With gorgeous nautical inspired costume design by Rivkah Spolin, and jazz age music by Tim Duncheon, this production pops with exuberance. A shipwreck, love triangles, mistaken identities, and a piano. The Glass Eye’s production of Twelfth Night has all of these and more! Pack a picnic to enjoy on the beach as you’re transported back to the era of the musical comedy in this inspired take on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The event is donation based, with donation of $10 for individuals, or $20 for couples and families the night of the event. All proceeds benefit The Glass Eye and the Stonington COMO. Questions? Call the COMO at 860.535.2476.
