AS YOU LIKE IT

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Kelly Elliott

"All the worlds a stage" in this joyous tale of freedom and empowerment; full of comic characters and memorable moments. As You Like It sees Rosalind and her cousin Celia banished to the Forest of Arden where they disguise themselves as young men. Orlando (Rosalind's love) also seeks refuge in the forest where he meets Ganymede (the gender-swapped Rosalind). Unrecognized, the disguised Rosalind tests Orlando by having him woo her under the guise of "curing" Orlando of his love. But instead of ending Orlando's romantic disposition, the couple develops a greater appreciation for the other, and uncover a deeper meaning of what it is to love.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Jasmine Renee

"Truth is truth to the end of reckoning" sums up Shakespeare's most resonant play of our day. Measure for Measure tells of Isabella, a young and devout nun compromised by Angelo, a corrupt official. Angelo offers to save Isabella's brother, Claudio from execution, but in return asks her to fulfill his carnal desires of the flesh. With nowhere to turn for help, and desperate for her brothers salvation, Isabella threatens to expose Angelo and his corruption even though he tells her no one would believe her.
