$Shakespeare in the Parks: \u201cAS YOU LIKE IT\u201d$

All the world’s a stage! Don’t miss Switch Theatre’s 4th annual, free-to-the-public Shakespeare In the Parks production of “As You Like It.” Shakespeare’s madcap story of love, mistaken identity, and finding oneself presented in 5 communities around the Triangle. Filled with witty banter, unforgettable characters, and some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful poetry, “As You Like It” is a celebration of nature, love, and the power of finding yourself in a changing world. Set in fictionalized North Carolina woods and infused with local music, this abridged version is the perfect way to experience the magic of Shakespeare under the open sky. It’s love at first sight for spirited Rosalind and frustrated wrestler-turned-poet Orlando, but when the Duke banishes Rosalind from court, Orlando must brave the vast and mysterious Forest of Arden to bring her home. But Rosalind, disguised as a boy, is enjoying her adventures too much to go home just yet – especially when she might just find her long-lost father. Can Orlando’s truly awful poetry lead her back to love? Will Rosalind’s father reclaim his rightful dukedom? General seating is free. Reserved VIP seating is available to those who want to support free Shakespeare in the Triangle. Reservations are recommended.
