Flock Theatre is hitting the road.

Following last spring’s mini-tour of “Romeo and Juliet,” the New London-based troupe is taking its current production of “Twelfth Night” to various locations.

The schedule for “Twelfth Night” is: May 14-17 and 21-24 at St. Mary Star of the Sea Church in New London; May 28 at The Thames Club in New London (Flock now has its offices at The Thames Club); June 21 at the Connecticut River Museum in Essex; and June 25-28 at the Connecticut College Arboretum in New London, where it will kick off Flock’s summer series at the Arboretum.

Flock presented “Romeo and Juliet” last year at St. Mary’s, the Connecticut River Museum and The Thames Club. The theater group has toured up to Hampton, Connecticut, among other locales, and is experimenting with the idea of more touring.

Derron Wood, Flock’s executive artistic director, says, “This May-June slot works really well for a lot of places for us to pick it up and tour it around. Truth be told, when we put so much effort and time into bringing one show to fruition, it’s nice to have a little bit more of an extended run.”

The travelling efforts beyond New London so far have worked out well and been a great deal of fun for the cast and crew, he says. One of the great perks, of course, is bringing new playgoers to Flock.

“Audiences nowadays don’t like to necessarily travel that far,” Wood says. “They’re very content to be at home, but if there’s something that’s in their backyard, they come out in droves and they love all the performances.”

Wood and Flock assistant artistic director Victor Chiburis both note, too, that this is a throwback to Shakespeare’s time. Chiburis points to the Shakespearean model of a troupe going to different halls to stage their works and essentially being a travelling performance group.

A few interesting aspects of the acting side of “Twelfth Night”: With this extended run, some roles have been double-cast; the character of Olivia, for instance, is played by Jennifer Scapetis in May and by Hannah Schenk in June.

And while Wood and Chiburis are co-directing the production, they’re both acting in it, too.

“We’re not burning the candle at both ends — we’re just throwing the whole thing in the fire,” Wood laughs.

The only other time Wood has directed and acted at the same time in a Flock production was years ago in Eugene O’Neill’s “The Hairy Ape.”

“When you direct, you’re thinking about so many other things,” says Wood, who plays Sir Toby Belch in “Twelfth Night.” “When you act, you’re supposed to be so in the moment. The two are completely different spheres of your brain. So that one second you’re outside, sitting there, going, ‘Oh, that person’s too close to that umbrella, and that bench needs to be over here. ... Oh, damn, I’m supposed to be onstage with this monologue!’”

He also says, “It’s a new experiment for us, and it’s a lot of fun.”

Chiburis has another responsibility beyond that, too; he is writing music for the show. His character, the jester Feste, performs a number of songs. Chiburis, who plays in the New London alt-folk band Friendly Ghosts, wrote the music to accompany Shakespeare’s words here. In addition, the end of the show will boast a sing-along that touches on the show’s themes and unites the characters in an epilogue of sorts.

The “Twelfth Night” storyline is, as Chiburis notes, sort of standard Shakespeare comedy. A set of twins are separated by a shipwreck. The female twin, Viola, decides to disguise herself as a man named Cesario in this strange new land and to serve the duke. That duke, meanwhile is desperately in love with countess Olivia. She, though, fancies Cesario.

“Everybody is falling in love with everybody else,” Chiburis says.

He adds that “Twelfth Night” isn’t just broad slapstick like “Comedy of Errors,” even though it has elements of that. It also, though, boasts cerebral humor, he notes, as well as a mix of serious and amusing moments that are almost Chekhovian.

Flock is providing an intentionally striking contrast by offering the light “Night” during the same season as Shakespeare’s dark “Titus Andronicus,” which Flock will present in July and August. It follows on last year’s pairing of “Romeo and Juliet” and “Cymbeline.”

“We discovered that, when we did ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ which is a nice, popular, well-known (play) with the less well-known ‘Cymbeline,’ it worked really well,” Chiburis says.
