The show, co-written and directed by Columbia College alum Tiffany Keane Schaefer ’12, a graduate of the Theatre Program’s Theatre Directing program, recently concluded a sold-out run at Otherworld’s own space.
As previously reported in this blog, Schaefer founded Otherworld Theatre in 2012 to specialize in developing and producing theatre focused on the genres of science fiction and fantasy. “Moving Twihard! to the Apollo Theatre is a significant milestone for us, and we’re honored to share our musical parody in a venue with such a profound Chicago legacy,” said Schaefer. “Twihard! is such a celebration of creativity, passion and the enduring love for the Twilight saga, and we can’t wait to create a magical experience that resonates with fans and newcomers alike.” Twihard! has also released an original cast recording album on Spotify.
