About As You Like It

Join us for one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies at the West View HUB Hubworks March 28-April 6, as Steel City Shakespeare Center kicks off their 2025 season!

After Duke Frederick usurps his older brother and sends him into exile, loyalties are questioned, and families are torn apart. Young lovers Rosalind and Orlando find themselves caught up amid the political turmoil and separately escape to the Forest of Arden. To protect her own safety, Rosalind dresses as a boy and goes by the name of Ganymede. She soon discovers that her love, Orlando, has also escaped to the forest and has hung love poems addressed to her on all of the trees. When she meets him, she maintains her disguise and offers to cure his lovesickness by pretending to be Rosalind and asking him to woo her. 

In the Forest of Arden, we meet a wide array of colorful characters in a story of unrequited love, chaos, mistaken identity, redemption, and most of all, a celebration of community.
