Morris Hills High School Theatre is staging William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night with a carnival twist this month, with four performances from Thursday, November 19, through Saturday, November 21, 2026, at the Morris Hills Theater, 520 West Main Street in Rockaway. Curtain is 7:00 PM on Thursday, November 19, and Friday, November 20, followed by two shows on Saturday, November 21, at 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s best known comedies. In the Morris Hills version, a shipwrecked young woman named Viola disguises herself as a male page named Cesario to survive in the land of Illyria, and the mistaken identities pile up from there. The production leans into a big top look, with a red and white circus tent on the show’s poster setting the tone for a playful take on the classic.

Tickets are $15 for general admission, with reduced prices for students, and can be bought online through the Morris Hills Twelfth Night ticket page or at the door. One detail worth knowing before you go: all seating for this show is located on the stage itself, which puts the audience right in the middle of the action. Tickets bought online are picked up at Will Call before the scheduled start time, and any unclaimed seats are released to a standby line at showtime, so plan to arrive a little early.

The fall play is directed by Harry Fahrer, the school’s fall play director and International Thespian Society advisor, with Morris Hills student Maria Sullivan serving as student director. Production details and updates are posted on the Morris Hills Theatre Twelfth Night page.

If you are a Shakespeare fan, the same weekend has a second option in the county: Chatham High School is also performing Twelfth Night from November 19 to 21, 2026, so you could catch two very different takes on the same play.

Twelfth Night runs Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 7:00 PM, Friday, November 20, 2026, at 7:00 PM, and Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM at the Morris Hills Theater, 520 West Main Street, Rockaway, NJ 07866. General admission tickets are $15.
