Described by The New York Times as “a classically trained, modernly hip troupe,” Aquila Theatre Company is an illustrious British-American touring company.  On November 20, 2009, they will bring their touring production of Shakespeare's As You Like It to George Mason University's Center for the Arts.

One of Shakespeare's classic cross-dressing comedies, As You Like It mixes wrestling, royalty, beguiling shepardresses, charming woodsmen, and a couple of feisty princesses.   The Aquila Theatre Company has set their production in a period of revolution in France, and highlights the story of power hungry men exiling their brothers, girls portraying guys and love found in unexpected places.

Tickets for Aquila's production of As You Like It are $34, $26, $17. Charge by phone at 888-945-2468 or visit www.gmu.edu/cfa. The Center for the Arts complex is located on the Fairfax campus of George Mason University at the intersection of Braddock Road and Route 123. Paid parking is located in the deck adjacent to the mainstage Concert Hall and FREE parking is located in university lot K. Visit www.gmu.edu/cfa.
