Shakespeare in the Parks Tour: As You Like It

*This tour takes place in different locations and dates*

Get ready for another summer of Shakespeare in the Parks! The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Division proudly presents the 2026 Shakespeare in the Parks Tour, bringing a professional, FREE, and family-friendly theatrical experience to parks throughout Prince George’s and Montgomery counties. This beloved annual tradition invites audiences of all ages to enjoy the magic of live performance in the beauty of the outdoors.

This summer’s featured production is As You Like It, one of William Shakespeare’s most delightful comedies. Filled with mistaken identities, witty banter, music, romance, and playful adventure, the story follows Rosalind and her companions as they flee to the Forest of Arden, where love is tested, friendships are forged, and everyone discovers that life can be sweeter when we embrace joy, freedom, and being true to ourselves. Charming, humorous, and full of heart, As You Like It offers a whimsical celebration of love and laughter perfect for the whole family.

Note: For outdoor performances, please bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating and comfort. Picnic meals are encouraged, and this pet-friendly production welcomes your furry companions.
