	Terence J. Burke (Sir Andrew Aguecheek) -- and in previous summers here: Oberon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Prospero in The Tempest, Laertes in Hamlet and Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing. Thank you for attending; without you there is silence. Did you know that where you sit, as Prospero says, amid “the cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, the great globe itself ... shall dissolve and leave not a rack behind”? With the closing of Twelfth Night, in a fittingly ironic allegory, the playhouse is scheduled to close and be demolished by the City of Coronado. Without you, as Hamlet says, “The rest is silence” for the playhouse. To help, enquire within.
