As You Like It - 21st season production
Info and LINK TO THE CAST
The Festival will present As You Like It in Southmoreland Park, June 18 - July 7, 2013. The production will play Tuesday - Sunday evenings at 8:00 p.m. and also on Monday, July 1. NO SHOW July 4. This delightful pastoral comedy will bring our park to life as our heroine Rosalind journeys to the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia and her philosophical Fool, Touchstone. The Forest provides a safe place for the exiled Duke and his entourage, the dispossesed Orlando and for Rosalind and her companions. In the wilds, the wildest adventures occur. This story has everything we love about Shakespeare's comedies; mistaken identity, madness and mayhem. And of course, LOVE. Mark your calendars for the Festival's 21st season production.
