This Summer:
As YOU LIKE IT

Join Hourglass Youth Theatre at the OC to perform this classic Shakespearean comedy
and exploring the wonders of the imagination!

Are you a lover of dystopian fantasy? Always wanted to step into a new and magical world? Come join the Hour-Glass Youth Theatre’s summer production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’. The play follows a young woman and her best friend as they flee a society in ruins from a government run on wealth and an imbalance of power. Love blossoms as paths cross, mischief abounds, people grow and change. While on the crumbling streets of the city, society is losing its humanity, the world outside reveals a vast beauty that may be able to heal the chaos. A sort of dystopian Robin Hood tale. We will have two weeks of rehearsals followed by a week of performances on tour at local libraries, senior centers, and other locations. Lots of fun, games, and helping to weave this wonderful tale!
