The hot new place to party is a masquerade where the young and hip go wild. Two fathers arrange the marriage of their children, but when the kids fall in love behind masks with someone they think they've never met, everything that can go wrong is almost certain to get even worse. Add in a mother who just wants to dance, faithful servants determined to protect young love and enough disguises to make your head spin. You'll laugh your mask off!

Triad Stage artistic director Preston Lane discovered Holberg’s Masquerade during a trip to Norway a few years ago. He says, “I was surprised to see Holberg’s name engraved next to Ibsen’s above the doors to the National Theater. I had no idea who he was. But the question of why he deserved his place next to Ibsen became clear when I actually discovered his work in a brilliant production of Masquerade.”
