"...where CTC excels is in their ingenuity and ambition. It’s rare I find theater companies — especially ones this size — that set such high standards for themselves."

The doors are locked, all they have is each other to use as weapons.
One man, two women, forced to spend an indefinite amount of time together sets the scene of Jean-Paul Sartre’s existential masterpiece. The characters wait to be tortured by someone, but end up torturing each other by the questions they ask and the secrets they share. Through No Exit we can see connections to our lives today, working at dead-end jobs, feeling trapped in relationships, or feeling stifled in society.
Duke Orsino is in love with Olivia. Olivia is in love with the Duke’s messenger, Cesario. Cesario is really Viola, in love with the Duke and disguised as a boy, oh and did we mention that she has a twin brother? Mix in some rowdy characters from Olivia's household and anything can happen.Shakespeare’s beloved cross-dressed comedy comes to life as never before on the Curio Stage. Join us on an enjoyable romp through the mishaps of mistaken identity.
