As You Like It
by Emily Ann Theatre
Jun. 26 (2019)
William Shakespeare’s As You Like It is about a group of royals who are exiled to the forest of Ardenne and, tired of the treachery of the court, adopt the pastoral lives of shepherds. Rosalind, in order to better make her escape, disguises herself as a man—which complicates her budding love with Orlando, and epitomizes the play’s upheaval of class and gender roles.
Our next mainstage show, to be performed in our indoor Burdine Johnson Studio Theatre, is none other than Shakespeare's romantic comedy As You Like It. And YOU can audition! The show will run September 6-29, 2019.
Auditions will be held June 26th from 6 pm - 9 pm. No monologues are necessary; instead ,sides will be provided for cold reads. There will be 3 time slots to sign up for: 6 pm, 7 pm, and 8 pm.
