Program description
Spying, double-crosses, cover-ups, mistaken identities!
Shakespeare’s adventure play takes place in the Forest of Arden. In As You Like It, things are not quite what they seem. Let’s see if you can figure out who’s who, what’s what, and why in this hilarious journey through the woods.
Beginning in May 2019, our Traveling Troupe will perform in schools, parks, assisted living centers, and more. Ask your local venue to book a performance now!
