THE PROJECT
This summer, SHAKESPEARE ON WHEELS marks its sixth season with As
You like It. Based on a project created by Theatre Department Chairman
William T. Brown in Africa during 1964, this innovative summer program
mounts a portable Elizabethan-style stage on top of a 40-foot flatbed
trailer. In the spirit of Europe's pageant wagons, the theatre and its
players travel throughout Maryland and neighboring states, bringing the
plays of Shakespeare to people of every age and background.
THE SCHOOL
From its contemporary campus just minutes from Baltimore and
convenient to Washington, D.C. and Annapolis, UMBC maintains the
traditions and values of a liberal arts institution while advancing
knowledge across a variety of disciplines. Its 28 undergraduate degree
programs range from the sciences and engineering to the arts and
humanities. Its graduate school, conducted with the University of Maryland
at Baltimore, offers 87 degree programs. The Albin O. Kuhn Library &
Gallery ranks among the nation's leeding university libraries in
automation-enhanced information systems.
The Theatre Department of UMBC offers majors in acting, technical
theatre, and educational theatre. Productions are presented during the
regular academic year (September-May), os well as during the summer
months via SHAKESPEARE ON WHEELS. Over the post 16 years, nine
UMBC productions have been selected for presentation in the regional
competition of the American College Theatre Festival. The most recent entry
was Oscar Wilde's Salome, directed by Sam McCready. Four of these
have advanced to the prestigious National Festival at the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, D.C. Recent UMBC productions
include William Congreve's The Way of the World, Dario Fo's
Accidental Death of An Anarchist, and Friedrich Duerrenmatt's The
Visit. UMBC is also the home for The Maryland Stage Company, a
semi-professional company directed by Associate Professor Xerxes Mehta.

SYNOPSIS
Set in the majestic forest of Arden, As You Like It introduces the
wise and lovely Rosalind, one of Shakespeare's most independent heroines.
She adores the youth Orlando and decides to teach him all she knows of love
while dressed as a man. The nimble-minded clown Touchstone, the melancholy
philosopher Jacques, and the saucy shepherdess Phebe also live in the
forest and as they, too, fall under Rosalind's spell, a world as rich and
varied as love itself flowers on the stage. As You Like It begins
with scenes from two households, Orlando's and Rosalind's. The setting then
changes to the Forest of Arden.
