As You Like It Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...Geer is far too savvy and respectful of her source to let implicit racial and political issues eclipse the play's charms."
LA Weekly- Somewhat Recommended
"...Sometimes staging Shakespeare in a period piece setting adds color and spark. Other times, this sort of stage dressing proves either a distraction and/or irrelevant to the production as a whole. Both is the case with director Ellen Geer's current mounting of As You Like It, which is set in mid 19th century America and features the costumes and music of that era."

"...Instead of what could be a fast-paced romp without an intermission, the production is dragged out, actually just stops dead, to present performances of "authentic" nineteenth century songs. It's as excruciating as it sounds."

Observations Along the Road- Recommended
"...It is fun and delightful, well-performed and updated well by not attempting to update it. I had a few minor quibbles, but for the most part I enjoyed this production thoroughly."
