One women will do whatever it takes to make it in the world of high power finance...including dressing as a man
When the young Viola takes a job at the financial firm Orsino and Partners, she quickly finds that in order to move up the corporate ladder, she needs to dress as a man. Meanwhile her tough boss Orsino is intent on wooing the business of a major fashion client, Olivia and Co., at whatever costs. Their world turns topsy-turvy as the fashion heiress, Olivia, falls in love with the young analyst in disguise, and Olivia's pesky relatives come to Occupy Wall Street. 12th Night Wall Street is a play full of camp, satire, and serious money.
Tickets available via OvationTix.
Thanks to everyone who came out for our production of Muzungu!
Very, very special thanks to everyone who came out to The 4th Street Theater for Muzungu, our co-production with Mixed Phoenix Theatre Group. We are very proud of the production, and happy to report that the critics dug it, too!
"The very fact that my brain is so tied up in knots is a good sign, a sign that this well-done play got under my skin...Seriously. You gotta see this play." — A Rehearsal Room of One's Own
"...I was always curious about what would happen next. Nneoma Nkuku and Ryan Victor Pierce give compelling performances as Mattie and Matthew..." — NYTheatre.com
"Muzungu...is a play you will find yourself thinking about for days, even weeks after seeing...The scenes are skillfully played and directed. Nneoma Nkuku's portrayal of Mattie as a smoldering powerhouse of repressed emotion against Ryan Victor Pierce's sensitive portrayal of an optimistic American volunteer out to change the world is more than entertaining and more than educational; it is dimensional." — Vicki's Menu
