"All the world's a stage, and all the men and woman merely players" begins one of the most iconic monologues written in any language. Join Jobsite Theater, resident theater company of the Straz Center, in the forest of Arden this new year for a timeless tale of love, liberation, and transformation! William Shakespeare's As You Like It runs Jan. 13 - Feb. 5, 2017, in the Straz's Shimberg Playhouse.

Spread the word because this cannibalistic comedy, a purposely vulgar unauthorized parody of 'The Silence of the Lambs,' is unlike anything our area has ever seen.

Jonelle Meyer, Owen Robertson and Jordan Foote save the day with their performances in this trio of one act plays by half of the famed Coen Brothers.

I'm prepared to lose friends as I type this, but I'm actually not a huge of Will S. Perhaps attending a Shakespeare camp in my youth would've lead me in a different path, but in the past I'd spend so much time sifting through and interpreting the language, that the overall impact of the story was lost. However, this production seemed covertly aimed at changing my mind.

Under the direction of David Jenkins, Busch's campy brand of depravity was perfectly executed on Jobsite's set. Brian Smallheer's minimalistic set design engages the eye just enough, while allowing the players to retain the audience's attention.

Zachary Hines shines in a performance that could be considered a master class in camp.
