AS YOU LIKE IT When Rosalind is banished from the court of her uncle, Duke Frederick, she and Celia, her best friend and cousin, retreat to the Forest of Arden. Rosalind disguises herself as a young man named Ganymede and Celia as his sister Aliena. Together they embark on a search for Rosalind’s father, Duke Senior, who was also banished by Frederick. While in disguise, Rosalind and Celia, with their trusty court fool Touchstone, meet a dynamic set of characters in the forest: Jaques, a melancholy Lord; Silvius; a lovesick shepherd, and Phebe, who falls in love with Rosalind in disguise.

Orlando, the object of Roselind’s affections, has taken to posting love notes about her on all of the trees in the forest, so she plays a few tricks on Orlando while in disguise. The result is

one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies— a tale that celebrates the beauty in life and love.

Please join us for a talk-back with our cast and crew after the performance on Friday, April 17 and 24.

By William Shakespeare Directed by Emily B. Ditkovski TICKETS: $7 students/seniors. $10 adults. (always complimentary for current Williston students and faculty)
