Boston, MA: Shakespeare on the Common "As You Like It"

Sponsored by Hopkins Boston

Join alumni and friends for the 29th season of Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s Shakespeare on the Common as they present As You Like It. After her father’s kingdom is seized by his power-hungry brother, Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee in disguise, seeking refuge in the Forest of Arden. There, they find new freedom and wisdom about love, family, community, and acceptance. Shakespeare’s lush romantic comedy As You Like It celebrates the joys and follies of human nature and the beauty of creating one’s own sanctuary, even in the face of great tyranny.

Shakespeare on the Common is a free event. This registration fee will go towards snacks and desserts for the group. A balloon will mark the group's location.

The rain date is Sunday, August 10, 2025.
