Get Your Tickets for As You Like It!


Our talented SHS students will take on an unforgettable journey into the Forest of Arden, where exiled nobles and disguised lovers find freedom, laughter, and love. Here the web of characters play out their parts in a world where identity is fluid, love triumphs over tyranny, and wit reigns supreme. With its timeless themes of self-discovery and love, Shakespeare’s enduring play delights in the joy of humorous banter, happy endings, and the redemptive power of nature and forgiveness.


There will be three performances:
Thursday, Nov. 13th, at 7PM
Friday, Nov 14th at 7PM
Saturday, Nov 15th at 7PM
