Let's see Shakespeare in the park

"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players"

Enjoy a live production of As You Like It at Solano Community College. Bring a snack and watch Shakespeare outdooors.

When Rosalind's father, the Duke Senior, is usurped by his younger brother Fredrick, he is banished and flees to the Forest of Arden. Rosalind is quickly banished as well. Disguised as a young man, Ganymede, with her cousin Celia, Fredrick's only daughter, disguised as Aliena, they follow the banished Duke, Rosalind's father, with the help of the court fool Touchstone. Along the way they meet Orlando, who has fallen in love with Rosalind at court, while the shepherdess Phebe has fallen in love with Ganymede (Rosalind in disguise), dashing the hopes of Silvius, who is in love with Phebe. In the mean time more lovers join the confusion as Oliver falls for Aliena, Touchstone for Audrey, who also finds herself pursued by the shepherd, William.

The performance will be on the green grass outside the Theater complex. You should park in Lot 2 which is off Suisun Valley Rd.

We will be sitting directly in front of the Theater building on a grassy area looking down on the performance. There will be a banner hung up to help direct us from the parking lot.

Please bring a blanket or low chair to sit on. Food and drink as well, if you are inclined. There will be chips, cookies, nuts, water, soft drinks and wine/beer for sale. It is partially shaded, but consider wearing a hat and sunscreen (we also sell sunscreen).
