Enjoy Fall Productions, Concerts And Performances At Anne Arundel Community College

Between now and the end of fall term, the Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) calendar is packed with performances by talented students and faculty. From Shakespeare to Tchaikovsky, there’s something for every audience to enjoy.

Faculty Jazz Ensemble

November 1, 7:30pm–9:30pm
Humanities 112

A group of AACC instructors comprising Ian Wardenski, Mercedes Beckman, Frank Russo, Shawn Simon and Anthony Pocetti will entertain the audience with a night of “skillful syncopation, complex chords and melodic measures.” Tickets are available via Eventbrite.

Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”

November 8, 9, 15, 16 at 7:30pm; November 10, 17 at 2:00pm
Robert E. Kauffman Theater in the Pascal Center for Performing Arts

AACC Theatre’s fall 2024 mainstage production is William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” described in a statement as an “entertaining, rollicking, slapstick comedy that navigates the themes of love, mistaken identity and the topsy-turvy nature of human relationships.”

Under the direction of Madeline Austin, AACC Theatre students known as The Moonlight Troupers will take center stage. The centuries-old play by the famous bard follows Viola and Sebastian, twins separated in a shipwreck. Viola disguises herself as a man to enter the service of the duke and becomes the intermediary in the duke’s pursuit of a countess, leading to “a series of comedic misunderstandings and romantic entanglements.”

Six showings will be offered over two weekends, and tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite.
