“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

Duke Senior has been banished from court by his evil brother Duke Frederick.  Soon thereafter, he banishes Senior’s daughter,  young princess Rosalind.  Rosalind, accompanied by her friend Celia, then disguises herself as a man and ventures into the Forest of Arden where she encounters a memorable cast of characters—including her love Orlando—in this witty, subversive comedy whose themes meditate on the dream of a simple life and the ideal of romantic love.  J.R. Sullivan, who directed last season’s Henry V, returns to direct a cast that includes Matt Bowdren, Kayla Carter, Jeff Christian, Jodi Gage, Peter Garino, Lydia Berger Gray, Shane Kenyon, Megon McDonough, Khnemu Menu-Ra, Daniel Millhouse, Henry Michael Odum, Christopher Prentice, Stephen Spencer, and Sarah Strasser.
