Follow brave heroine Rosalind and her cousin Celia as they escape the rigid rules of court life for the wilds and freedom of the Forest of Arden. An annual summer tradition, join Theatre Calgary as it presents As You Like It as this year’s Shakespeare by the Bow production.

Featuring a cast of recent theatre graduates based in Alberta, this innovative program allows participants to gain practical knowledge and production experience by working with an established director and a professional production team to present a classic work of Shakespeare. The pay-what-you-can production is a must-see summer treat.

And, following the success of 2016’s Shakespeare After Dark, Theatre Calgary is once again partnering with Calgary Municipal Land Corporation and returning to St. Patrick’s Island with Victors, Villains, and Vixens. Held during the Calgary Folk Festival, Victors, Villains, and Vixens will also be presented with noon-hour dates in August.

Catch Shakespeare by the Bow June 20 to August 27, 2017. Head to theatrecalgary.com for the full performance schedule.
