If music be the food of love, play on . . .


You simply must join us for Nathan Hale's production of Twelfth Night, opening this week on February 13th. What a perfect play for the week of Valentine's day--a comedic consideration of the nature of love, identity, loyalty, and gender.

In this scene, Viola, dressed as a man, engages in a dialogue/debate with Duke Orsino about the strength and intensity of male versus female love:

DUKE: And what's her history?
VIOLA: A blank, my lord. She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?

Twelfth Night Act 2, Scene 4


And PLEASE don't forget to join us for the BITE OF HALE, our most distinctive school-wide event, blending diversity, community, and great food. Join us Tuesday night, February 12th, at 6 pm!
