"Twelfth Knight" staged by Moonlight Players

Actors in the Moonlight Players production of "Twelfth Night:" Seated, Dan Martin. Peeking out window at left is Denise Truscott. Directly behind Martin, from left, are Derek Friend, Andre Provencher and Ruben Colon (peeking from bushes).

Shakespeare's plays have played a part in every season of the Moonlight Players for more than a decade.

Founder Jan Sheldon led the way, often setting the 400-year-old plays in recent eras to enhance the audience's understanding. When the group staged "A Midsummer Night's Dream," it was set in the Old West. "Twelfth Night" was once set in the late 1960s.

Now that the theater returns to "Twelfth Night," director David Ricklick takes over the reins and locates the romantic comedy in New Orleans in the Roaring Twenties.

The play opens at the Moonlight Players Warehouse Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21.

"We push the envelope here as much as we can," Ricklick said.
