The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents this pastoral romantic comedy, "As You Like It", as its next student production that will tour to three different outdoor venues in three different cities - Admission is free! Banishment, forlorn lovers, a sardonic fool, an even more moody pity party in the woods… What better set-up for a comedy?! Find out why “All the world’s a stage” and share in the celebration of family reuniting, past wrongs forgiven, and love, at last, won by all. “I like this place, and willingly could waste my time in it.” Director Benjamin Cole is proud to present this emotional roller-coaster for four sets of couples as they attempt to cure their love sickness or allow themselves to fall fully head over heels while still taking time to philosophize about the beauty of nature versus the ridiculousness of courtly manners. “I love the annual tradition we have established in North County San Diego of offering free live student Shakespeare performances in these outdoor venues,” Cole explains. “Each of the venues gives our students unique opportunities to expand their acting skills, and further their understanding and appreciation of both Shakespeare and the incredible outdoors we have the privilege to visit,” he expounds. Assistant Director, Steve Smith adds, “The cast of As You Like It is one of the most talented groups we’ve had at the Theatre School, but even more importantly, they’re tremendously supportive of one another and excel in collaboration. There’s something for all theatregoers in this show: characters who are lovesick and characters who are sick of love, hilarious clowns and heroic figures, battles of wit and a wrestling match.” The show runs a pleasing 90 minutes with no intermission and hopes to inspire a greater acceptance of each other and our places in this world. Additional production staff includes Stage Manager, Paul Smith. Featured in the two casts are (Bex Balsdon, La Jolla Shores; Bugz Baltzer, San Diego; Kai Bunyak, Cardiff; Basil FitzGerald, Escondido; Landon Friis, Oak Crest; Charlotte Larson, Carlsbad; Sarah McKnight, Ramona; Katherine Teyssier, Sorrento Valley; Noé Tsimis, Encinitas; and Audrey Wilkins, Carlsbad).
