The Public Theater’s Mobile Unit: As You Like It

June 04, 2026 – June 28, 2026

By William Shakespeare  
Directed by Emma Rosa Went

Bringing free Shakespeare to parks and correctional facilities across the city, The Public’s acclaimed Mobile Unit will tour in 2026 with a joyful new production of AS YOU LIKE IT. When Duke Frederick exiles her father, Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee to the forest. Disguised as a young man, Rosalind encounters the heart-sick Orlando, who is desperately seeking none other than Rosalind. While the two young lovers role-play their way back into each other’s arms, the forest of Arden is abuzz with lovelorn shepherds, pining jesters, and battling brothers. True lovers, strange capers, and fools in the forest go heart-in-heart in Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy, directed by The Public’s inaugural Directing Fellow Emma Rosa Went.

Touring June 04, 2026 – June 28, 2026 to parks all over the city,

Thursday June 11 and Friday 12, 6:30pm at J. Hood Wright Park
