University of Memphis (UofM) Department of Theatre and Dance begins its 2024-25 season with "12N, or What You Will." This performance is Holly Derr's groovy retelling of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."

Darel Snodgrass talks with the director of this performance and UofM Head of Directing Program Holly Derr about her disco-era reboot, the opportunities for a modern gender-bending look at Shakespeare's already gender-fluid mistaken identity classic, and, of course, disco!

"12N, or What You Will" runs from Thursday, September 26 to Sunday, September 29 at UofM Theatre.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
