Catskill Mountain Shakespeare is Coming to the Mountaintop this Summer!

Catskill Mountain Shakespeare is coming to The Mountaintop this summer! Gather with them outdoors and under the tent for their Fourth Season with Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It

Catskill Mountain Shakespeare presents classic texts and new work initiatives in immersive and natural settings. They are committed to bringing vibrant and professional theater to our area while fostering diversity, inclusion and equity for all. Their performances create a common space for the local community, weekenders, and anyone visiting the region to enjoy live art together.

As You Like It follows two of Shakespeare’s most enchanting heroines, Rosalind and Celia, as they escape the austere world of the court in search of freedom in the Forest of Arden. Once there, they are swiftly entangled in a comedy of romance, disguise, and friendship. This beloved play asks us some of life’s greatest questions and is full of live music, laughter, and some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful language. A comedy for all ages—both accessible and relatable—AYLI explores what it means to love, make a fool of yourself, and rebel against ‘The Man’.

The production opens July 15 and runs through the end of the month, located outdoors and under the tent behind the Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Red Barn at 7970 Main Street in Hunter, NY, 12442 Matinees are at 2 pm; evening performances are at 7:30pm. The season will also include a Pay What You Can performance, their second annual LGBTQ+ Midsummer Social, a ‘Relaxed’ Performance for families with free childcare, a Community Book Club, farmers’ markets pop-ups with arts and crafts for kids, and free acting workshops.
