As You Like It
by William Shakespeare
This summer, follow our 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. Here, they will fall in and out of love, encounter one of Shakespeare’s greatest fools, and discover the value of true friendship.
Theatre Calgary is proud to collaborate with the National Theatre School of Canada in creating an enhanced learning experience for the participant artists in the Shakespeare by the Bow program.
This season, Theatre Calgary continues our city's summer Shakespeare tradition in one of the most beautiful parks, Prince's Island. Shakespeare by the Bow places the education and training of emerging artists (recently graduated post-secondary drama students from across Alberta) front and centre.
There is plenty of seating available on the grass in front of the stage and the neighbouring Eau Claire Market has a number of food options. Dressing for rain or sun is recommended. Performances may be delayed in poor weather conditions but will only be canceled if there is a danger to the audience and performers.
