The Mystical Arts of Tibet
Tuesday, July 30 - Sunday, August 4

Millions of grains of colored sand are painstakingly poured into this unique work of art and inspiration. The monks work on the Mandala for 8 hours each day and then, once completed, it is destroyed to symbolize the impermanence of all that exists.

Aquila Theatre presents Twelfth Night, one of Shakespeare's funniest and most charming comedies set against a background of romance and mystery. The British/American ensemble brings to life the shipwrecks, duels, jealousies, disguises and suspicions, and the ultimate reconciliation in this hilarious story of identical twins and mistaken identity. Aquila's unique brand of innovative and exciting theatricality combined with Shakespeare's universal themes of love and human behavior results in a classic story made relevant and accessible to a modern audience.
