In order to escape the political jungle of lethal ‘wrastlers,’ family feuds and tyrannical leaders, a motley crew of characters find themselves in the Forest of Arden. This place of exile quickly becomes a hotbed of foolishness as the banished Rosalind, disguised in men’s attire, comes across her love, Orlando. Not wanting to be recognized, she calls herself Ganymede and offers to be Orlando’s servant, of sorts. Because in Shakespeare when a girl wears pants she’s instantly unrecognizable, Orlando agrees to take wooing lessons from ‘Ganymede’ to ease the burden of his own broken heart over Rosalind. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, a band of quirky castaways, led by Rosalind’s exiled father, Duke Senior, all attempt to rediscover themselves. Each Fool seeks out love, friendship and transformation amid the chaos of the forest where true romance must inevitably conquer all!

Will Rosalind and Orlando find love? Will Duke Senior regain his rightful Dukedom? Will the tyrannical Duke Frederick allow them to live happily ever after in the forest? How many rhetorical questions are enough? Find out in As You Like It running July 3-August 16, Mondays through Saturdays at 7pm. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, bug spray and a sense of humour. Pass-the-hat donations are collected at the end of the performance and can be submitted in the form of cash or cheque.
