Cast list |

At Playa Sola High School, it’s business as usual – the jocks, geeks, popular kids, etc., all try to navigate a world of insecurities, grades, fashions and text messages. Then, during a school trip to a historic mission, the minds of two high school seniors are inexplicably switched. Suddenly Kyle, a charismatic slacker/surfer, is helping everyone with their calculus and scholastic superstar Natalie has become an expert on heavy metal lyrics and is calling everybody “dude.” In this screwball-comedy-for-a-new-generation, Kyle and Natalie have to find out how to get their brains back as they juggle friends, classes, rumors, scholarship competitions and, oh yeah, Kyle’s mean-girl, super-hot girlfriend Ashley.

FS_As You Like ItAS YOU LIKE IT Summer Tour
Presented by Free Shakespeare!
July 18-Aug. 11
Various

Directed by Travis J. Cook

In AS YOU LIKE IT Duke Frederick (the younger duke) has usurped his older brother, Duke Senior, and banished him to the Forest of Arden. Frederick then banishes Duke Senior’s beautiful daughter Rosalind. Celia, Frederick’s daughter and best friend of Rosalind, flees her evil father with Rosalind and they travel (along with Touchstone, the clown) to the Forest of Arden. Before leaving, though, Rosalind falls in love with Orlando and he with her after he amazingly defeats Charles in a wrestling match. Orlando, the younger son of Sir Rowland, had rebelled at being kept a virtual prisoner by his cruel older brother, Oliver. Also banished, Orlando then roams the forest hanging poetry and carving Rosalind’s name in tree trunks. Meanwhile, Rosalind (who is disguised as a man named Ganymede) gives Orlando tips on how to capture the object of his affections. By the play’s end Ganymede, once again Rosalind, marries her Orlando. Two other sets of lovers are also wed, including Celia and Oliver. As Oliver becomes a gentler, kinder young man so the Duke conveniently changes his ways and turns to religion and so that the exiled Duke, father of Rosalind, can regain his crown.

LOVE/STORIES Runs July 12-27

LUTC_LoveStoriesOVE/STORIES
Presented by Untethered Theater Company
POSTPONED
Clifton

Directed by Paul Morris

Cast: Carter Bratton, Christopher Dooley, Leah Strasser, MaryKate Moran & Stephen Geering

LOVE/STORIES features five deceptively simple one-act plays about what men, women—and even actors—want. As is often the case with love, here, nothing is what it seems. An interview with a Russian director becomes an altercation. A play is stripped down to basic subtext and rebuilt as something else entirely. A writer must swallow his pride to meet the man who took his place. Through it all, there’s that universal truth about love: it hurts, but you will get used to it.
