Escape to the forest of Arden with a romantic and immersive production of As You Like It. Four charming couples swoon, banter, argue, and fall deeply in love against the background of an original, modern score. This production reunites the team behind our entertaining, touching, and bittersweet production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream: director Jessica Aimone and music director Zach Roberts.

An exuberant affair, often heartwarming, and … anchored by some of the best Shakespearean actors in the DC area.

Jack Read, Broadway World

First-rate work: a conceptually cohesive, intimate, spunky, charming staging of a pastoral Shakespeare comedy … Brave Spirits’ As You Like It is a heartwarming treat.

John Geoffrion, DC Theatre Scene

The new musical numbers provide characters the opportunity to show not only vocal talents but provide an adroit few bars of song that present a smart look into a character’s being.

David Siegel, DC Metro Theater Arts
