AS YOU LIKE IT

JUNE 2023, DIRECTED BY PAIGE HOKE

Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every thing.
I would not change it.
— Act II, Scene 1

This production will be part of our Bilingual Shakespeare in the Park, funded by the Cultural Alliance of York County and Downtown, Inc.

Shakespeare’s beautiful comedy of searching for love in an idyllic forest continues to provide laughs and warmth for audiences after four hundred years of popularity.

Time travels at different speeds for different people. I can tell you who time strolls for, who it trots for, who it gallops for, and who it stops cold for.
— William Shakespeare, AS YOU LIKE IT

OrangeMite's first Shakespeare in the Barn production was The Bard's great pastoral comedy, As You Like It.  This bright story of adventure, love, and mistaken identity provided the perfect starting place for the OrangeMite's Shakespeare program in May of 2009.
