A joyful, music-filled journey through the Forest of Arden where disguise, discovery, and the power of love take center stage.
Fleeing the confines of court life, Rosalind and her cousin Celia seek refuge in the Forest of Arden, where exiles become adventurers, friendships bloom into romances, and wit collides with whimsy. Shakespeare’s romantic comedy is a celebration of the joys and follies of human nature and the beauty of creating one’s own sanctuary, even in the face of great tyranny.
This lively production of As You Like It is perfect for middle and high school audiences, offering rich opportunities for discussion around literary themes, character development, and the social dynamics of gender, power, and freedom.

Power. Family. Consequences. The storm that starts at home. “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child”
In Shakespeare’s fiercest tragedy, a tale of madness, power, and betrayal roars to life as a father’s world collapses—shattered not by strangers, but by his own blood.
King Lear is one of Shakespeare’s most gripping stories. Loyalty, honesty, and pride collide inviting students to explore big questions about family, identity, and the choices that define who we become.
