As You Like It is a dream-like tale of faithful friends, feuding families and lovers in disguise. Forced from their homes, Orlando, Duke Senior, his daughter Rosalind and niece Celia escape to the Forest of Arden, a fantastical place of transformation, where all are welcomed and embraced. Lost amidst the trees, the outcasts find community and acceptance under the stars. This moving, ensemble-driven production will be staged in the covered horse arena at The Equus Effect Farm in Sharon, CT. In nonprofit partnership with The Sharon Playhouse, a portion of each ticket sale for this event will benefit back to the Equus Effect.

This is a story for the modern misfits, the dreamers who defy expectations, and anyone who's ever wanted to flip the script on happily ever after. In this twisted fairy tale, it's not the stepsisters or stepmom who are wicked, but Cinderella herself. It takes going to the Prince's Ball for Cinderella to learn that being kind and surrounding yourself with good friends is what truly leads to happily ever after.
