The Play’s the Thing
JUN 6-SEP 22 if the last time you experienced
shakespeare was while dozing through a high

into classics such as Macbeth and As You Like It
(pictured), this year’s two mainstage productions,
by incorporating music and costumes from different
eras. As You Like It has been transported to 1960s
vancouver, complete with more than 20 classic
Beatles tunes. this just might be the summer of love.
