As You Like It at Hood College Hodson Outdoor Theatre

Unstrung Harpist Productions is excited to announce its upcoming performances of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, produced in conjunction with the Frederick Shakespeare Festival.

The story follows Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle’s court into the bewitching Forest of Arden. Along with her cousin Celia, they discover shepherds, aristocrats, and country folk. The forest is also full of lovers, including Orlando, a youth recently displaced from the court who pines for Rosalind. Disguised as a shepherd boy, she has Orlando woo her under the guise of “curing” him of his love for Rosalind.

As You Like It runs from Thursday, July 17 to Saturday, July 26 at Hood College’s Hodson Outdoor Theatre. Performances will take place at 7:30 pm with a special 2:30 pm matinee on Sunday, July 20 at the Avalon Black Box Theatre inside Hood College’s Tatem Performing Arts Center. The show has a runtime of approximately 2 hours with one 15 minute intermission.

All tickets are available on a pay what you will basis. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at www.esptheatre.org/fsf or at the door.
