Uncooperative weather during the production process has pushed the opening of Festival 56′s free outdoor production of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy “Twelfth Night” to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 5, at Soldiers and Sailors Park.

A brief introduction to the play will be provided just before each performance.

“Twelfth Night” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Sunday and Wednesday nights through Aug. 2.
