San Juan Capistrano, CA- Summer
Shakespeare brings you this timeless classic with an old west theme ...
Capistrano Style. Held in the beautifully green Historic Town Center Park in
the heart of San Juan Capistrano.
Blazing Saddles
mixes with Shakespeare in AS YOU LIKE IT!
This is how Mel Brooks might present the Bard!
As You Like It is considered one of the Bards worst and
most brilliant pieces ever written. It almost comes off as if Shakespeare
was making a rebellious statement about his playwriting skills for his
contemporary critics.
The Camino Real Playhouse is
run by a non-profit organization's board - the Capistrano Center For The
Performing Arts, dedicated to the future of live community theatre in South
Orange County. Tere are 4 Theatre
Divisions that report to the board. One controls the daily workings of the
Playhouse, one controls the future of the Capistrano Center for the Performing
Arts as well as facilities management, one directs programs for young actors
(managed by The Acting Academy For Kids) .one supports acting programs for
adults (the Capistrano Acting Academy), and one controls the annual Shakespeare Festival (CapoShakes).
Although it deals with some intriguing themes: artifice,
homoeroticism, and exile…LIKE IT OR NOT the bard throws these situations in our
faces to laugh, cry, reminisce, or scorn almost in a form of melodrama.
So taking in all of these different points of view, as a director, Robb
selected a western theme—for the historical aspects of the location-- and to
utilize the “melodramatics” of the script.
The cast of AS YOU LIKE IT includes:
Darrell Hill, Bren Johnson, Jonathan Barker, Sean Goodwin, Wylie
Simpson, Tawnye Raughn and Tom Scott of San Juan Capistrano, Ruben Miranda,
