Connecticut Repertory Theatre Presents a Joyful Musical Adaptation of 'As You Like It'

JOYFUL MUSICAL ADAPTATION OF AS YOU LIKE IT
AT CONNECTICUT REPERTORY THEATRE
“Inventive and exhilarating” - TimeOut

STORRS, CT – Connecticut Repertory Theatre continues our 76th Anniversary Season with Shaina Taub and Laurie Woolery’s As You Like It, a musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, running November 13 — 22, 2025, in the Harriet S Jorgensen Theatre on the University of Connecticut campus.

Join CRT for this joyful, imaginative musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s tale of faithful friends, feuding families, and lovers in disguise. Forced from their homes, Orlando, Duke Senior, his daughter Rosalind, and niece Celia escape to the fantastical Forest of Arden – a place of chance encounters and transformation. Lost amidst the trees, the refugees find community and acceptance under the stars. As You Like It features an original folk-pop score by Shaina Taub (Suffs).

“This Arden…is a place of refuge, generosity, joy, growth, and forgiveness — but most of all, of transformational love.” – Variety

CRT welcomes Equity guest artist Amari Ingram in the role of Duke Senior. Directed and choreographed by Brandon Kelly, with musical direction by Dmitriy Glivinskiy, As You Like It features scene design by M.L. Fife, lighting design by Cody Tellis Rutledge, costume design by Jordan Au and Emma Schreiber, and sound design by Abbie Golec.

Equity Guest Artist Amari Ingram makes his CRT debut with this production. Ingram is a stage and screen actor based in New York. Notable credits include: Polixenes in The Winter’s Tale and Drugger in The Alchemist (both at Quintessence Theatre Group); Marcos in Kiss of the Spider Woman (Short North Stage); Omar in On the Third Day (Vanguard Repertory Co.); Gregg in “Holiday in the Hamptons” (dir. Candice Cain); “New York Homicide” (Oxygen); “Fatal Attraction” (TV One). He has studied extensively with premier Atlanta acting teachers Robert Mello, Kate Brown, and two-time Tony Nominee and Emmy Nominee Peter Frechette. IG: @amarijingram
