The Grand Marais Playhouse is proud to present As You Like It, a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Adapted by Shaina Taub and Laurie Woolery . Music and Lyrics by Shaina Taub

This play is a perfect musical tonic for our times. Named one of The New York Times' Best Shows of 2017, As You Like It is an immersive dream-like tale of faithful friends, feuding families and lovers in disguise.

Forced from their homes, Orlando, Duke Senior, his daughter Rosalind and niece Celia escape to the Forest of Arden, a fantastical place of transformation, where all are welcomed and embraced. Lost amidst the trees, the refugees find community and acceptance under the stars.

“As You Like It was created in real time as we worked to make sense of the events of the world we were living in. When life looks impossible and it is difficult to see an end in sight, it is through the power of community that we find strength and grace to continue forward. It takes a village to make theater, and it takes a mighty community to dig down deep and share their vulnerable hearts on stage.” Laurie Woolery, Directs of Public works

Shaina Taub’s score for As You Like It is full of humor, romance, pathos, irresistible grooves and abundant joy.
