"As You Like It"...in Butte?

Tonight's entertainment is the traveling troupe of Montana State University, who, for 43 years, have presented Shakespeare in the Parks every summer in almost every community in Montana. They are ever present in Hamilton each August. They have done every play Mr. Bill has written...and they give them all a bit of a twist. This is "As You Like It" set in Butte, Montana, in the late 19th century. A rollicking play with a rollicking crowd of about 400 on the lawn of a local park. There are miners, shepherds and gypsies involved. Not a line is changed...just the odd locale and costumes. What a hoot!
