Love letters. Mistaken identities. Music. Wrestling. Poetry. Disguise.

A forest where the rules of society dissolve and everyone is free to discover who they truly are...

This September, Rose City Stage Company presents Shakespeare's As You Like It as the culmination of Shakespeare Unbuttoned and the Summer of Love celebration.

Set in the magical Forest of Arden, the play follows characters who leave behind expectation and convention in search of freedom, community, and connection. It is one of Shakespeare's most joyful explorations of identity, transformation, and the many forms that love can take.

There could be no more fitting conclusion to a summer honoring Darcelle's legacy and celebrating the freedom to express ourselves fully.
