They have performed in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries for audiences totaling hundreds of millions.

As You Like It
By William Shakespeare
Thursday, November 13 through Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 7:30PM
Join the Georgia Southern Theatre program and the Performing Arts Center in the Forest of Arden where Shakespeare subverts the traditional rules of romance. Transformation in the woods lies at the heart of this delightful comedy where gender roles, nature and politics are confused as the characters explore how bewildering and yet utterly wonderful life and love can be. Key to the play is the story of Rosalind, who must disguise herself as a boy to escape from her tyrannical uncle. Fleeing to the forest she teaches lessons in love to Orlando (her own lover) and others experiencing the pangs of young love.
Appropriate for all ages.
