The Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival will mount its first wintertime festival with the Shakespeare by the Palms V production of As You Like It at Commons Park Amphitheater in Royal Palm Beach January 30 to February 2. Performances will take place from 8 to 10 p.m. each night. Admission is free with a suggested donation of $5 per person.

As You Like It follows the resourceful Rosalind and her friends as she journeys from the Royal Court to the Forest of Arden. Disguised as a shepherd, Rosalind encounters her love, Orlando, and decides to befriend him as a shepherd boy and cure Orlando of his “lovesickness” for Rosalind. Witty words and romance play out while the disputes between a pair of brothers comes to a happy ending for all.

Guests are invited to bring a beach chair or blanket and picnic basket, or enjoy on-site concessions each evening.

The Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival’s Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Season continues with the Shakespeare by the Sea production of The Winter’s Tale July 10–20, Thursdays through Sundays, at the Seabreeze Amphitheater in Jupiter’s Carlin Park.
