Shakespeare Youth Festival LA

We are excited to announce openings in our production of “As You Like It.”. If this will be your first time participating in a class, workshop, or production, please email us at speak@shakespeareyouthfestival.com to schedule an introductory meeting (phone/Zoom).

All rehearsals will be held at World City Center (3911 W Adams Blvd – just east of Crenshaw). Performance venue details are still being finalized, and will be announced before rehearsals begin.

Tuition for each participant is $700.
Finances should never be a barrier to participation – you may apply here: Financial Aid. If you have received financial aid in the past, please email us for details on continuing.

AS YOU LIKE IT

Evil Duke Frederick is not a nice guy. After a rigged wrestling match goes sour, Rosalind and friends escape the rigidity and nastiness of the cruel city, where they were the victims of arbitrary and unfair rules, for the Forest of Arden, where “Do Unto Others” is the law of the land, and where a cast of eccentric characters are all just trying to find someone to love.
