July 2019: Join Tora as she plays Viola in this foot stomping version of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
Célébrons ce beau jour… In this “hootenanny” Twelfth Night, Director Thomas Kapusta reimagines Shakespeare’s wistful play of festivity and loss via his French-Canadian heritage, transporting the ensemble comedy to a kitchen parlor in Hardwick, Vermont. This Twelfth Night invites its audience to join in fifty years of LeCours family music-making tradition, inspired by the American folk revival, their Québécois roots, and the joy derived from performing together for each other. When words fail, it’s music that lets us love in mourning, mourn while celebrating, and celebrate being in love.
As a part of the Corkscrew Theater Festival, the limited dates are below! July 16, 23, 24 at 8:45pm; July 14, 21 at 6:15pm; July 13, 28 at 3pm; July 13, 20, 27 at 10pm Buy tickets here!

Spring 2018: Catch Tora playing violin in the upcoming NBC series Rise! From Jason Katims, writer and executive producer of "Friday Night Lights" and "Parenthood," and Jeffrey Seller, producer of the explosive Broadway hit "Hamilton," comes a heartening new drama about finding inspiration in unexpected places. When dedicated teacher and family man Lou Mazzuchelli (Josh Radnor, "How I Met Your Mother") sheds his own self-doubt and takes over the school's lackluster theater department, he galvanizes not only the faculty and students, but the entire working-class town. Inspired by a true story. https://www.nbc.com/rise?nbc=1
