Sauk To Host Pigeon Creek's AS YOU LIKE IT For One Night Only

The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company (PCSC) will present William Shakespeare's comedy "As You Like It" for one performance only at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2 at The Sauk, Hillsdale County's Community Theatre.

The PCSC is Michigan's only year-round, professional touring Shakespeare company. This is their second annual visit to The Sauk. Frequently nominated for awards for Shakespearean performance, the company uses staging practices from Shakespeare's own time to bring his plays to life in a lively, audience-interactive and accessible atmosphere.

Shakespeare's "As You Like It" follows the adventures of Rosalind, the daughter of a duke, whose father is banished from his dukedom by his usurping brother. After falling in love at first sight with a young man named Orlando, Rosalind sets off for the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia, in search of her banished father. In order to travel more safely, Rosalind disguises herself as a boy, which causes complications when she runs into Orlando in the forest. Pigeon Creek's productions features actors Lauren Vesbit as Rosalind and Riley Van Ess as Orlando, along with Michael Dodge, Kimi Griggs, Kat Hermes, Ashley Normand, Eric Orive, Sarah Stark, Brad Sytsma, John Vesbit and Scott Wright.

"We are thrilled to welcome the PCSC back to The Sauk," said Sauk Executive Director Trinity Bird. "In addition to the productions we produce, our board of directors believe it is important to bring unique theatrical experiences to our patrons. PCSC is among the best of the best."
