Columbia County Players Presents:
As You Like It!
Shakespeare’s joyful pastoral romp through the Forest of Arden comes alive in this free, 90-minute performance at our very own Churchtown Dairy Globe! Love runs wild, disguises and discoveries abound in this comedy of banter, freedom, and falling headfirst into the unexpected.
Set in the heart of Columbia County farmland, this magical evening of theater is not to be missed!
Whether you're a Shakespeare enthusiast or a newcomer to his works, this performance is perfect for a date night, family outing, or an evening with friends.
