Featuring Cody Sloan as Touchstone
In Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy, Rosalind and Orlando meet by chance in court and have an immediate connection. When they are both banished, fate brings them together again in the Forest of Arden. Far from the restrictions of court life, we find ourselves in a vibrant new world, where identities can be fully explored and romance can blossom in multiple forms.

"I hope that people leave…feeling uplifted, joyful, and that they were able to access Shakespeare and understand the text clearly," [Cody] says. "We've had so many young people and teenagers come and that excites me so much! I hope that they leave feeling excited about Shakespeare and that it belongs to them, no matter who they are or what their life experience is."
