As You Like It

A musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It
Adapted by Shaina Taub & Laurie Woolery
Music & Lyrics by Shaina Taub
Directed by Christopher Kehoe
Co-produced with Vashon Island High School

March 22–30, 2024

Orlando and Rosalind are two teenagers ready for something more. Orlando wants to live up to the glory of his father’s name, while Rosalind is tired of the expectations of being a “young lady at court.” But a fateful royal wrestling match and subsequent exile will set these two lovers on a collision course in strangely-familiar, island-like forest. Shaina Taub’s As You Like It is an exciting musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy about giving it your all, getting knocked to the ground, and finding the community the help you back on your feet again.

Sponsored by 4Culture, Artisan Electric, Caffe Vino Olio, John L. Scott, Vashon Thriftway, Kate Pflaumer, and Robin Miller Thomas.

Originally commissioned and produced by The Public Theater. Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director; Patrick Willingham, Executive Director. Orchestrations and Band Arrangements by Mike Brun.
