Play Description:
The magical Forest of Arden becomes a refuge when Rosalind and her cousin Celia escape
an oppressive uncle and take to the wilderness. Disguised as a man, Rosalind searches
for her true love, Orlando - who doesn't recognize her new persona. But anything can
happen in the forest, including poems in the trees, star-crossed shepherds, and a
band of exiles who become family. Identities are lost and true selves are found in
Shakespeare's beloved comedy that celebrates the joys and follies of human nature
and the beauty of creating one's own sanctuary, even in the face of tyranny.

About the Drama Program
Drama at Lower Columbia College offers courses designed to provide students with an
understanding of the theatre and an appreciation of theatre, acting, technical theatre,
and production experience through performance. Students develop the ability to express
themselves in many ways: acting on stage, seminar discussion, play analysis, review
writing, script interpretation, kinesthetic expression, and technical proficiency
in set, costume, and light design.
One play is presented each quarter during the academic year. Participation is open
to all students, college employees, and members of the local community.
Students interested in acting can complete an associate degree or begin studies to
transfer to a baccalaureate program. Drama courses can also be an important supplement
for those who plan to major in the humanities or social sciences.
Act One Drama Club
If you don't think you are ready for auditions or feel like it is too big of a time
commitment, think about becoming involved in our Act One Drama Club that produces our performances. Act One includes everyone involved in drama at the college. Members are actively involved
in producing a Center Stage Theater production each quarter.
