25th Annual Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival

Friday through Sunday at 8 p.m., July 15-17

One of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, As You Like It delivers a wild romantic comedy that plays with gender roles, politics and nature. Featuring one of the bard’s most iconic female characters and set in the magical Forest of Arden, the play is the perfect way to joyously return from our own exile to “Shakespeare live” in Kingsmen Park.

The Kingsmen Shakespeare Company is the professional theater company of Cal Lutheran. The nonprofit organization coordinates apprentice programs for professional and aspiring Shakespearean actors, an educational tour for local schools, and summer theater camps for youth.

General admission is $25 for adults, $20 for seniors 62 and over and active military, $15 for students 18 and over with ID, and for 17 and younger. Reserved lawn boxes are $90 to $110. A lawn box accommodates four to six, and only one ticket is required per box. Online ticketing is available for both lawn boxes and general admission.

Festival grounds open at 5:30 p.m. for pre-show picnicking and entertainment.

Parking is available in the lot off Mountclef Boulevard just south of Olsen Road.
