'Twelfth Night' to open Quantum Theatre's new season

Post Gazette: "'More ambitious' is the catchphrase of Quantum Theatre's 2011-12 season, which includes three world premieres and a four-production schedule after fiscal prudence required a cutback to three last season.
The season opens July 28 with Karla Boos directing Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night,' with Robin Walsh as Olivia. The play is among the Bard's darker comedies that the artistic director has championed at Quantum. Even the first line is a perfect fit for the found-space company, as Viola asks: 'What country friends is this?'
Along those lines, there's one phrase in the press release about the first play that jumps out from the rest: 'Staged outdoors in a place quirky even for us.'
