Portland Shakespeare Project kicks off its inaugural season with As You Like It, William Shakespeare's comedy about romance in the Forest of Arden starting July 13 and running Thursday through Sunday until August 7.
Take a stroll in the Forest of Arden with some of Shakespeare's most memorable characters in his dearly loved comedy As You Like It. In these dappled woods, reality shifts, confronts pretense and allows human yearning to find its true course. Set in France to Mary Kadderly's wistfully haunting original music, this romantic comedy peels away the layers of societal constraints to reveal each character's authentic self.
As You Like It features Darius Pierce as Touchstone, Cristi Miles as Rosalind, Melisa Whitney as Celia, Jill Westerby as Jacques, Andy Lee-Hillstrom as Silvius, Dana Millican as Phoebe, Dave Bodin as Corin, Jake Street as Orlando, Tony St. Clair as Oliver, Tom Walton as Jaques De Boys and Charles, and Rhianna Walton as Audrey. Original music for As You Like It is composed by Portland's noted singer and songwriter Mary Kadderly and played by accordionist KJ McElrath.
Intimate and informative talk-back discussions will follow all of the Thursday night and Sunday matinee performances. Louis Fantasia, Director of Shakespeare at the Huntington, will be conducting a very special pre-show and post-show discussion for the show on Saturday, July 16. These talk-backs will provide opportunity to discuss the production, ask questions and learn more about the show.

I’ve been wanting to see this play since I did a project on it in English class, 9th grade, 1987! I’d go on Saturday, August 6, and take my daughter, who’s in high school now as I was then.
July 13, 2011 at 10:19
I would be thrilled to see this play on Sunday; I’ve not seen As You Like It, plus, I’d like to introduce a friend of mine to Shakespeare :)
July 13, 2011 at 10:39
I would like to go August 5th :) And I would like to go because this is one of my favorite plays by the bard!
July 13, 2011 at 11:48
Ooh, I’d love to see this on Friday, July 29th! And to come back again with a group friends if it’s as good as I imagine it will be!
July 13, 2011 at 15:05
I would certainly appreciate winning tickets to go on Saturday, 7/16, because I love this work by Shakespeare but have never seen the play. Also, since I am now unemployed and have been for over a year, I can’t afford to purchase tickets at this time. Thank you for your consideration!

Shakespeare is unadulteratedly awesome.
July 14, 2011 at 15:04
I’d love to see some Shakespeare! I’d like to go on Saturday July 23rd! That would be awesome!
July 14, 2011 at 15:53
I would love to see this on Sunday July 17th. Thanks!!
July 14, 2011 at 15:59
July 30th for me – why? calendar is open and who wouldn’t want to see a Shakespearean play? Especially this one – Romantic Comedy? YES!! Pick me, pick me!!
July 14, 2011 at 16:28
You had me at dappled woods.
July 14, 2011 at 16:50
I have not been to a live play is some years and I love shakespear! I would enjoy eithe sat the 16 or the sun the 17th! Please pick me!!!
July 14, 2011 at 17:02
I need to learn some new moves.
Sad. But true.
July 14, 2011 at 17:03
Hi! I just moved to Portland 2 months ago, and I’ve been so broke that I haven’t been able to do anything yet. I would love to attend this showing! :) Sunday the 17th would work best for me.
July 14, 2011 at 17:12
As I’d Like It? Sunday the 17th, please! Nothing better than the Bard to top off the weekend
July 14, 2011 at 17:14
Saturday the 16th would be great so we could get some behind the scenes info. Thanks for the opportunity.
July 14, 2011 at 17:40
Yes, I would Like it. I would Love it. Shakespeare with home grown musical talent. Accordionized no less? Oh yes. I doth thinketh that soundeth wonderfuleth! Especiallyeth because it doesn’t involve Lawrence Welketh! At least I hopeth not. (Otherwise the play wouldst become a Midsummer’s Nightmare!)
Please let me enjoy some culture beyond my daily dose of nonfat yogurt. Thanketh you!
July 14, 2011 at 18:04
I love Shakespear, have no money, and would love to attend on Sat. the 16th.
July 14, 2011 at 18:10
I’d love a pair of tickets, after all “Can one desire too much of a good thing?” (Quote Act IV, Sc. I)
July 14, 2011 at 18:11
Would love to see some Shakespeare on Sunday July 17! Pleeeease!
July 14, 2011 at 18:39
I would love to see this. Have never been to a Portland production. Would choose Sun if there was an option? :)
July 14, 2011 at 18:51
“Answer me in one word.”

I would love to go on Saturday, July 16th……Thank You!!
July 14, 2011 at 18:57
I love Shakespeare, plus my wife is sure to give me some if I take her to this.
July 14, 2011 at 19:03
I would love to go on Sunday, July 17th, because I loves me some Shakespeare! I always enjoy watching the plays.
July 14, 2011 at 19:16
My 8 year old loves acting and she has never seen Shakespeare – it would be a great experience for her
July 14, 2011 at 20:19
I would enjoy going on Sunday the 17th if picked
July 14, 2011 at 20:20
I want to go because “all the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…”
July 14, 2011 at 21:12
I’d love to win these tickets! My husband and I attended college in Ashland and miss the Shakespeare Festival so much. We’d haven’t seen what Portland theater has to offer yet.
July 14, 2011 at 21:13
Sorry, forgot to say, we’d be so happy to get tickets for the show on July 17th!
July 14, 2011 at 21:28
I love Shakespeare but I can’t afford tickets as I’ve been unemployed since graduating. I’d love to go on the 16th :-)
July 14, 2011 at 21:40
To be or not to be there. Tis far nobler that you bestow upon me the tickes to my midsummwr nights dream upon the 17th
July 14, 2011 at 22:50
It’s one of my favorite Shakespeare plays and it’s been a few years since I’ve last seen it. Saturday would work great.
July 15, 2011 at 01:40
_As You Like It_ (along with perhaps Much Ado… and Taming…) is perhaps my favorite of the bard’s comedies. Rosalind is a feisty anti-heroine; I want to be her when I grow up. (Well okay, Beatrice is pretty badass too, but we’re talking about AYLI right now.)
Layer that with a mise-en-scène en france et de la musique originale, and were the production a hot, intelligent man with a quick wit and fashionable taste in shoes, I’d be in love.
I’m a shift worker so Saturday night won’t do–but either show on Sunday would be sublime, especially the evening.
Merci mes amours,
Danielle

Beward Ashland! Portland has it all–this will really add to the wonderful atmosphere and fun in Stumptown
July 15, 2011 at 07:23
fun
July 15, 2011 at 07:51
Hi there, I would love to have the opportunity to see Shakespeare, am broke at the moment, and would love to see the Saturday show.
The 17th could also possibly work for me.
Thanks
July 15, 2011 at 09:44
I desperately need a Shakespeare fix! I’m a total theatre nerd and have had far too little of it in my life recently. I’d really appreciate it if you could send me!

I desperately need a Shakespeare fix! I’m a total theatre nerd and have had far too little of it in my life recently. I’d really appreciate it if you could send me! I’d prefer Sunday tickets please :)
July 15, 2011 at 11:37
I would love to go!
July 15, 2011 at 11:52
Ah, havn’t seen Shakespeare since NYC—- Oh, please please send me so I can expose my guy to this too! I bid Ado to you…
Thursday or Sunday tickets please…
July 15, 2011 at 12:04
I’ve heard so many good things about this show, I would love to see it. I know a lot of the actors, and would love to be in the audience to support them, but money, as always, is tight. I’m a Shakespeare lover, too. My first Shakespearean role was when I was 8 years old, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’d prefer to go Saturday night, if it’s this weekend.
So looking forward to it!
July 15, 2011 at 13:04
I’m really short on money right now, but this is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. I’d like to go on 7/23.
July 15, 2011 at 13:09
game for sunday (or saturday, really), either this weekend or the next…i really have to choose? ok, THIS sunday (july 17). as you like it.
July 15, 2011 at 16:07
I would love to take my boyfriend on Saturday July 23rd! I am new to Portland (moved here last summer for school) and this would remind me of the annual Shakespeare in the Parks festival back home which I attended every August until this year. Hope I’m not too late!
July 15, 2011 at 16:18
Shakespeare is exactly what my summer needs!!! It needs it so desperately, and the Sunday matinee would be perfect!
July 15, 2011 at 18:05
I need some (old white) culture in my life.
I’d like to attend on Sunday.
August 1, 2011 at 15:23
never seen a shakespeare play live! that would be amazing!!
