As You Like It
by Young Shakespeare Troupe
Apr. 02 (2017)
For its 9th season, Young Shakespeare, Austin Shakespeare’s teen company, will transform Richard Garriott de Cayeux’s outdoor Curtain Theatre. into the Forest of Arden for Shakespeare's delightful As You Like It.
Featuring his most fascinating female heroine, Rosalind, "As You Like It" has everything you love about Shakespeare: mistaken identities, characters in love with the "wrong" person, peril, chance encounters and, of course, a wedding. All this wrapped in the extraordinary poetry of The Bard.
