As You Like It, envisioned by Artistic Director Karen Ann Daniels—in her Folger Theatre directorial debut—and co-adapted with Psalmayene 24 (Folger Theatre’s Metamorphoses), is one of the most beloved Shakespearean comedies.

The “love-shaked” Rosalind and her cousin Celia are forced to leave the court where they find respite and adventure in nature, inevitably succumbing to the madness of love and delightfully unpredictable circumstances.

This production offers a love note to DC, imbuing the forest of Arden with the familiar vibes, culture, and characters that mark the District as a singular, resilient, and redemptive place of belonging.

Masked performance

While Folger Theatre no longer requires masks at most performances, we recognize that some patrons may prefer to attend in a fully masked environment. At the request of audience members, Folger Theatre has designated several performances during the 2025-2026 season as mask-required for all audience members, staff, and volunteers. If you need a mask, we are happy to provide one to you.

Audio-described performance

  • Saturday, Apr 4, 2026 at 2pm

Audio description (AD) is a narration service that attempts to describe the visual aspects of theatre and make the visual an auditory experience, with the goal of helping low vision and Blind audience members share in the experience of live theatre more fully.

Open-captioned performances

  • Sunday, Apr 12, 2026 at 2pm
  • Sunday, Apr 12, 2026 at 7:30pm

Open-captioning makes live theater performances accessible by using a non-intrusive caption board at the front of the stage which scrolls the entire text of the production in real time.

For information about the best seat locations from which to see the caption board, contact us at VisitorServices@folger.edu or (202) 544–7077.
