Congratulations to the cast of the upcoming spring play, As You Like It!
About As You Like It:
When Rosalind is banished from the court of her uncle, Duke Frederick, she and Celia, her best friend and cousin, retreat to the Forest of Arden. Rosalind disguises herself as a young man named Ganymede and Celia as his sister Aliena. Together they embark on a search for Rosalind’s father, Duke Senior, who was also banished by Frederick. While in disguise Rosalind and Celia, with their trusty court fool Touchstone, meet a dynamic set of characters in the forest: Jaques, a melancholy Lord, Silvius, a lovesick shepherd, and Phebe who falls in love with Rosalind in disguise, to name a few. To Rosalind’s delight, Orlando, the object of her affections, has taken to posting love notes about her on all of the trees in the forest. To ensure that his love is pure, Rosalind plays a few tricks on Orlando while in disguise. The result is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, a tale that celebrates the beauty in life and love.
