Journey with Two River Theater, today at 1pm and/or 7pm to the Forest of Arden, as cross-dressing heroines and triumphant heroeslearn how to embrace their imaginations, let go of their fears—and surrender to romance.
Filled with laughter and music, Shakespeare’s AS YOU LIKE IT is romantic comedy at its most delightful.
Shakespeare’s comedy of cross-dressing heroines and triumphant heroes stars Miriam A. Hyman as Rosalind and Jacob Fishel (returning to Two River after his highly acclaimed performance as Henry V last season) as Orlando. As the characters of the play move from the constrained world of the Duke’s court into the Forest of Arden, they must learn to confront their own fears and limitations—and surrender to romance.
Sexton’s production will showcase the transformative abilities of the acting company, who will also perform original songs composed by Ben Toth (Sleepless in Seattle at the Pasadena Playhouse) live on stage.
The cast also includes Matt Bittner (First Lord/Silvius), Leighton Bryan (Le Beau/Phoebe), Ben Diskant (Oliver/William), Philip Goodwin (Duke Frederick/Duke Senior), Geoffrey Owens (Jacques), Myra Lucretia Taylor (Adam/Audrey), Brendan Titley (Touchstone), Sara Topham (Celia/Sir Oliver Martext), and J.D. Webster (Charles/Amiens/Corin/Hymen).
The creative team includes scenic designer Brett J. Banakis; costume designer Tilly Grimes; lighting designer Seth Reiser; sound designer Brandon Wolcott; music director Sarah Taylor Ellis; vocal coach Deborah Hecht; and fight director J. Steven White. The casting is by Samantha Barrie, CSA and the stage manager is Terri K. Kohler.
