Central Washington University's Production of "Twelfth Night"

If Central Washington University intends to put on a show such as "Twelfth Night", it needs to be made sure that the true humor of the play is fully embraced and done in such a way that the show will appear to all of the students at the University and attract people to attend the performance. Adapting the show to modern time and making it a contemporary show would interest the younger people CWU is trying to attract to the theatre. There are two choices of where the show could be put on: 

First Choice: McConnell Stage

McConnell auditorium is the biggest venue in Ellensburg to put on any type of performance. It would allow for many advanced technical aspects such as a fly system and more lighting effects. It would also allow for the biggest audience.

Second Choice: The Tower Theatre

The Tower Theatre in the upstairs area of McConnell is a smaller black-box type of performance space. The benefits of such a theatre are the options of choosing how you would like the theatre set up seat-wise and being able to move where the audience would be and change the type of stage you'd be performing on. It would also allow for a more intimate setting.
