As You Like It | Courtyard Shakespeare Dates: June 11, 12, and 13, 2026 Time: 7:30pm each night Location: Heritage Park Shelter 9 Admission: Free to attend | Suggested donation welcome Accessibility: ADA accessible | All ages Description: Courtyard Shakespeare presents As You Like It at Heritage Park Shelter 9 in Overland Park. Three nights of free outdoor Shakespeare for all of Kansas City. This modern adaptation sets the play in a summer camp. Two pairs of feuding brothers set the story in motion. Rosalind, banished by her uncle, disguises herself as a man and escapes to the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia. Orlando flees his own brother's murderous schemes and ends up there too. In the forest, identities shift, romance blooms in unexpected ways, and everyone finds their way home. Courtyard Shakespeare is an educational theatre company, bringing together high school students, college students, and professional Kansas City actors to create work side by side. That collaboration between emerging and experienced artists is central to everything the company does. Founded in 2018 by drama teacher Dan C. Schmidt, who believed theatre should be free and available to everyone. After Dan's passing, his students and colleagues carried his vision forward. This June marks the company's sixth production since then. The show is funded through a suggested donation model and an annual GoFundMe so that admission never has to be charged. Bring a lawn chair, low or high, and some food and drinks!
