As You Like It at College of St. Elizabeth, Morristown, NJ -- Spring 2011

In my third year at College of St. Elizabeth, I directed As You Like with a 27-person cast, which included 4 male performers from nearby universities and 2 female high school students. Female students cross-dressed to play most of male roles and were denoted with applied facial hair. In my two-hour cut, I created speaking roles for each cast member by splitting various Lords into multiple roles and giving each character multiple scenes. Original music written for Shakespeare’s lyrics was provided by fellow faculty member Prof. Pamela Stein.
