Shakespeare’s classic comedy comes alive with mistaken identities, tangled romances, clever schemes, and plenty of mischief. Fast, funny, and surprisingly relatable, Twelfth Night proves that when love and deception collide, almost anything can happen.
Auditions for Twelfth Night are your chance to step into a world of mistaken identities, tangled romances, clever schemes, and larger-than-life characters. Whether you’re a seasoned Shakespeare performer or have never tackled the Bard before, we encourage you to audition. Come play, take a chance, and help us bring this fast, funny classic to life!

HELP KEEP OUR STORY GOING
There are many ways to make a difference at Saltwater Performing Arts.
Advertise with us for as little as $100 and put your business in front of our audiences, sponsor a production and help bring a story to the stage, or become a monthly donor to support the programs, performers, and opportunities that make community theatre possible.
Every gift, sponsorship, and partnership—large or small—helps us continue creating a place where stories are told, talents are discovered, and our community comes together.
Saltwater Performing Arts is proud to bring award-winning theatre to our community. At the 2025 Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) in Baltimore, our production of Matilda earned Best Musical Direction, Best Choreographed Performance, and Best Costume Design, along with All-Star Cast Awards for Ella Arens and Jayson McLaughlin. Those honors celebrated what we see every day at Saltwater: extraordinary talent, hard work, creativity, and a commitment to producing theatre that can stand alongside some of the best in the region.
This October, we’re taking that commitment back to competition—this time with two productions at the Georgia Theatre Conference in Augusta: Come From Away and Finding Neverland.
Both are exciting new releases for community theatres, giving our performers and creative teams the opportunity to take on two ambitious productions and bring them to the competition stage. We are incredibly proud to have Saltwater representing our community with not one, but two remarkable stories.
Taking two productions to competition is an exciting opportunity—and a significant undertaking. Travel, transportation, sets, costumes, technical needs, registration, and production expenses add up quickly.
You can be part of what happens next. A donation of any size helps our casts and creative teams take Saltwater beyond our home stage and represent our community at GTC.
Support award-winning local theatre. Support our performers. Help us take these stories to Augusta and see what we can do next.
