Once in the woods, she is shocked to discover the trees are covered with love poems written to her! She is further shocked when she discovers that their author is none other than the handsome Orlando, who recently captured her heart. Hiding behind her boyish disguise, she puts Orlando’s love for her to the test, while juggling the affairs of courtiers and country bumpkins alike. Featuring a hilarious cast of characters, delightful music, and warm-hearted romance, AS YOU LIKE IT is the perfect choice for a cold winter’s night. Free, bring blanket or chair.

Prospero was once a grand lady, a famous sorceress and the ruler of the city-state Milan. A shocking coup, led by her ruthless sister Antonia, ended with Prospero left for dead on a deserted island. Now, many years later, fate – and a raging tempest summoned by Prospero’s magic – brings the two sisters face to face once more, and Prospero must make an irrevocable choice between virtue and vengeance. The Tempest, Shakespeare’s final comedy, is a tale of hope, betrayal, and justice, packed full of magic and monsters, handsome princes and bumbling servants, and longings more wild and powerful than the raging sea itself.
Southbank Shakespeare is overjoyed and so excited to announce the cast for this summer’s production of CORIOLANUS. An oft forgotten gem in Shakespeare’s illustrious canon, CORIOLANUS tells the story of a Rome that is viciously searching for a new way to represent its citizens, and the socially self-destructive military hero that lies at the center of it all: Caius Martius Coriolanus. A tragedy of those left behind by the state, and the lies they are told so that those in power can absorb more and more of the state without challenge. Join us for a ballad of honor, valor, and betrayal June 20-23 at Thomas Moore University.
