As You Like It *

July 11 - 26, 2009 @ 8pm

Since 1986, Shakespeare Festival/LA has presented packed houses with dazzling evenings of professionally-produced and critically-acclaimed shows. For thousands of Angelenos, we have become a long-standing summer tradition.

This Summer, join us as we present the U.S. premiere of AQUILA THEATER's world-class touring production of As You Like It.

*Wait, what happened to Romeo & Juliet?

"All the world's a stage…" in As You Like It, one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies. Join Aquila Theatre in the Forest of Arden where love comes in all shapes, sizes, and disguises.

Set in a period of revolution in France when love conquered all, As You Like It tells the story of power hungry men exiling their brothers, girls playing guys, and finding love in unexpected places.

Aquila infuses As You Like It with their unique blend of fun and entertaining theatricality. The production is both faithful to Shakespeare and relevant and accessible to a modern audience. Learn more about Aquila Theater >

Food For Thought

Many thanks to everyone who participated in our Food for Thought program, which asked for a non-perishable canned food donation in lieu of a ticket price at our downtown L.A. venue!

In 2008, we collected more than 2,400 items for the Cathedral Outreach Center & The Food Bank of Southern California.

This summer, help us continue this important community tradition, which has collected more than $1.5 million in food items to date. Learn the history behind the program >
