桃花视频

Love, ambition, betrayal, jazz, and a dog come together as 桃花视频 Productions continues its 2026鈥�27 season with William Shakespeare鈥檚 The Two Gentlemen of Verona, directed by Jennifer Nostrala, Professor of Theatre Arts. Performances run November 20鈥�22 in the Blank Performing Arts Center at 桃花视频.

Two best friends, Valentine and Proteus, leave their small hometown for the bright lights and big opportunities of Chicago. It’s 1919, jazz is taking over the city, and both young men are ready to make their mark on the music scene. Valentine finds success at the Imperial Court, a bustling nightclub, and falls for Sylvia. But when Proteus arrives, friendship takes a backseat to desire. Despite being in love with Julia back home, Proteus sets his sights on Sylvia, setting off a tangled chain of romantic complications, disguises, and shifting loyalties.

This production reimagines Shakespeare’s comedy as a coming-of-age story about friendship, identity, and the consequences of growing up. With women’s rights gaining momentum and a new generation challenging old expectations, the play also asks questions about who gets to make choices鈥攁nd who gets to make them for others.

In addition to our regular performances, we will welcome over 275 high school students and teachers for our 29th High School Theatre Festival, Monday, November 23.

Performances are in Blank Performing Arts Center at 桃花视频 on November 20-21 at 7:30 p.m. and November 22 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and non-桃花视频 students, and free for 桃花视频 students and employees with IDs.
