Summer Theater 2025

Shakespeare's As You Like It

July 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, 25th, 26th 
August 1st, 2nd

This summer, M & M Performing Arts and Red Monkey Theater Group will introduce open-air theater in the Palm Court at Lyndhurst. Enjoy the fresh summer air and a wonderful Shakespearean performance with your family or friends.  The company will perform As You Like It alfresco under the stunning metal skeleton of the Lord & Burnham 1880s gothic greenhouse.  All the world’s a stage as the characters in Shakespeare’s classic comedy As You Like It navigate politics, injustice, love, and gender identity. Join us in the Palm Court to see if love really can conquer all. The ninety-minute performance will be open to the elements and will begin promptly, weather permitting.   At 6:00 pm, the audience will gather at the fountain in front of the greenhouse and proceed to the Palm Court, where seating will be provided.

Picnicking is an important part of the outdoor summer theater experience!  Your ticket includes 4:30 pm access to the picnic area near the greenhouse stage.  Bring your low-profile tables and chairs, a blanket, and an umbrella for shade, as there are no picnic tables on the premises, and the provided chairs are for theater performances only. Feel free to leave your picnic gear in place (umbrellas closed) while you watch the performance.  Picnicking is carry-in, carry-out. Please clear your dinner area as you leave. Tents, open flame, and BBQs are not permitted.
