Harrison Resident in University of Rhode Island Theatre Department Production

The University of Rhode Island Theatre Department is proud to present “As You Like It,” by William Shakespeare.

Harrison resident Christopher Morris is playing Duke Frederick.

Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy was first published in 1623 and remains a favorite among modern audiences, having been adapted for radio, film and musical theatre. The play centers on Rosalind, who flees persecution in her uncle’s court while accompanied by her cousin Celia and Touchstone, the court Jester, to find safety and love in the Forest of Arden.

“As You Like It” finishes its run April 23 through 25 at 7:30 p.m., with an additional showing April 26, at 3 p.m. in J Studio of the URI Fine Arts Center, 105 Upper College Road on the Kingston Campus. General admission is $20, tickets cost $15 for seniors, URI faculty and staff, and $12 for students. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling (401) 874-5843.
