ABOUT THE SHOW...

Before you settle into your seats for a night of laughter, wit, and unforgettable characters, here’s a quick glimpse of what awaits you in the Forest of Arden:

THE STORY
Banished from court, the resourceful Rosalind and her fiercely loyal cousin Celia flee into the forest disguised as commoners—Rosalind even dons a male persona, "Ganymede," to keep her true identity hidden. What follows is a whirlwind of mistaken identities, love-struck shepherds, philosophical musings, and romantic hijinks, all underpinned by some of Shakespeare's most charming and insightful poetry. Will true love conquer all? In the Forest of Arden, anything is possible!

DID YOU KNOW?

  • "As You Like It" gave the world one of Shakespeare's most famous lines: "All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
  • The Forest of Arden was inspired by a real woodland near Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. Arden was also his mother’s maiden name—talk about personal connections!
  • The play includes a lioness, a wrestling match, and one of the earliest depictions of women dressing as men in English literature. Talk about drama!

So pack your wit, your wonder, and perhaps a pocket of good cheer—we can’t wait to welcome you to a world where love always finds a way, laughter is abundant, and the unexpected is just around the corner.

See you soon in the Forest of Arden!
