Starring SID WILLIAMS as the melancholy Jacques, CAMRYN GRIMES (EMMY WINNER - YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS) as Rosalind, Italian sensation Lenny Ciotti, and company members you’ve come to love.
Murderous treachery, sexual politics, and seizure of assets are the family values in this, Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy, AS YOU LIKE IT.
Times are tough in DUKE SENIOR’S Kingdom—so bad, in fact, that he and his loyal knights have been driven into the FOREST OF ARDEN by his unscrupulous brother, DUKE FREDERICK.
What will become of his daughter, the beautiful ROSALIND, and her cousin, the equally beautiful (but terribly naughty) CELIA? The two Princesses and their witty friend TOUCHSTONE walk a fine line to please the current regime …but how much tyranny can be endured before they too, must flee to the Forest?
Meanwhile, back at the De Boys estate, life has become unbearable for young ORLANDO—his older brother OLIVER has made sure of that. Eating with the hogs is one thing—getting murdered in one’s sleep is something else. And will he ever find his One True Love again?
Shakespeare sets the stage for romance, hilarity, and confusion-- all that (and musical numbers, too!) make this FROG & PEACH Production a show you’ll never forget.

Play Guess The Title and Win
“The players cannot keep counsel: they’ll tell all.”
--Hamlet III, ii
Where will we transport you? Will it be to the exotic and sensuous world of Anthony & Cleopatra, the riotous romance of As You Like It, or will we dare to visit the Dark Side with Macbeth?
We might just pull out all the stops and bring you Henry VI, Parts I, II & III, the famous War of the Roses cycle, a non-stop sin-fest and a timely take on war, lust, and every form of corruption you can think of.
Or submit your favorite from Shakespeare’s canon!
YOUR VOICE IS IMPORTANT TO US!
Submit your best guess by June 1, 2008 and you could win a pair of free tickets to a gala Benefit Performance!
