Press release

Valley Shakespeare Festival

Shelton and Oxford, CT
THE FOREST OF ARDEN COMES TO LIFE THIS JULY IN SHELTON AND OXFORD

Valley Shakespeare Festival presents As You Like It for their annual Free Shakespeare in the Park
Valley Shakespeare Festival returns this summer with a lively, family-friendly production of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy As You Like It. This fast-paced, music-filled show will be performed outdoors under the stars at both venues, offering opportunities for audiences to catch the action in two towns across the Valley.

Performances will take place July 10–13 at Veterans Memorial Park, 38 Canal Street E., Shelton and July 17–20 at Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road, Oxford. All performances begin at 7 PM
This production transforms Veterans Memorial Park and Quarry Walk into the magical Forest of Arden, where lovers flee court politics, don disguises, and find themselves tangled in a wild and whimsical world of romance and mistaken identity. With physical comedy, witty dialogue, and joyful energy, As You Like It is a perfect summer evening for audiences of all ages.

Audiences are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and picnics to enjoy this open-air theatrical experience. Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $20 for adults and $10 for students to support the Festival’s ongoing commitment to accessible, professional live theater in the Valley.
Whether you're a Shakespeare enthusiast or new to his work, As You Like It promises laughter, love, and an unforgettable night under the stars.
