As You Like It by William Shakespeare is a romantic comedy set in the Forest of Arden, where characters discover love, identity, and forgiveness.

There she encounters her love Orlando, who loves her in return but doesn’t recognize Rosalind in her disguise. The story weaves together comedic misunderstandings, philosophical musings, and a love triangle, culminating in reconciliations, revealed identities, and multiple weddings, celebrating love’s transformative power and the joy of self-discovery.
This production marks the first time the Valley Players have produced a play by Shakespeare in their 46-year history. The play is directed by local playwright and director, Jeanne Beckwith.
