WYO partners with Montana Shakespeare in the Parks for performances of ‘As You Like It’

The WYO Performing Arts and Education Center is alerting the public to a free performance of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” by the Montana Shakespeare in the Parks (MSIP) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 17, at the Kendrick Park Bandshell. As part of MSIP’s “Share Our Stage” program, Livi Fehrenbacher will open the evening at 6 p.m. All ages are welcome to attend and enjoy these free performances.

“As You Like It” speaks to the joy and complexity of love, identity and the transformative power of nature. This romantic comedy follows the story of Rosalind, one of Shakespeare’s most complex female characters, as she ventures into the Forest of Arden alongside a colorful cast of characters to explore questions of love and transformation.

This summer, the company, in its 53rd season, performs in 64 communities across five states including Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota and Washington, serving over 20,000 audience members annually with free performances. Audiences are encouraged to come early, bring a picnic and enjoy an evening among friends and neighbors.

This performance is presented by Montana Shakespeare in the Parks and the WYO Theater with full local support. For additional information see shakespeareintheparks.org.
