Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival Play On! Tour - As You Like It
Wednesday, June 10, 2026
6:00pm–7:30pm

The Bethlehem Area Public Library is pleased to host the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival’s “Play On!” Community Tour. This year the Play On! tour is presenting a free performance of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It.

Escape into a world of laughter and love with Shakespeare’s most delightful comedy! Banished from the court, Rosalind flees to the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia and the hilarious clown Touchstone. In this magical realm, love notes grow on trees, romance rules, and disguises lead to delightful confusion. Filled with wit, poetry, and music, As You Like It is enchanting entertainment for all ages.

Registration recommended.
