Mill Mountain Theatre to Present Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT
As You Like It is directed by Mill Mountain Theatre's Director of Education, Victoria Buck.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." Join the cast of Shakespeare's As You Like It for this playful production, filled with flirtation, fun disguises, flippant fools, family dysfunction, and some of Shakespeare's most famous phrases.
The classic Shakespearean comedy features young performers from the Roanoke Valley and Mill Mountain Theatre's Conservatory program, the theatre education program for young artists. As You Like It is scheduled from May 6th to May 15th on Mill Mountain Theatre's Waldron Stage.
As You Like It is directed by Mill Mountain Theatre's Director of Education, Victoria Buck. Buck is no stranger to Shakespeare and has earned two Masters' Degrees from Mary Baldwin University's Shakespeare and Performance Program with a Master of Fine Arts and a Master's of Letters.
"Shakespeare is so classic and pervasive in both our education systems and in theatres that almost every student and actor will encounter it at some point in their lives and career, and the best way to learn it is by performing it and seeing it performed!" Said Buck.
