The American Shakespeare Center will return to Austin for its fourth annual visit to the University of Texas campus. Direct from the stage of the American Shakespeare Center’s celebrated Blackfriars Playhouse, the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre, the ASC touring troupe brings Renaissance drama to life in exciting and accessible performances. On February 12 and 13, at 7:00 pm in Hogg Auditorium, the ASC’s touring troupe will perform Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi. Performances will take place on the UT campus at Hogg Auditorium. Parking is available on the street and at UT’s San Antonio Garage. Tickets are $15 and $10 for students, as well as UT faculty and staff. They can be purchased online in advance through the Shakespeare at Winedale web site. (www.shakespeare-winedale.org) The theatre will open for seating at 7:00 pm. At this time, live pre-show music will also begin. The performance will begin at 7:30 pm. Seats for the performances are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so audience members are encouraged to arrive early, take their seats, and enjoy the music. There will be a post-show discussion with members of the company immediately after Twelfth Night.
