NJ Next Stage Ensemble presents "As You Like It"The Teaneck Public Library Friday Morning Group will host a one hour abridged performance of William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It by The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s Next Stage Ensemble at 10:30 A.M. on Friday, July 23, 2010. Banished by her cruel uncle, Rosalind must disguise herself as a boy and flee to the Forest of Arden. In this fairy-tale setting, surrounded by courtiers and fools, shepherds and outlaws, the plucky Rosalind becomes a catalyst for change, bringing about laughter, love, and reconciliation. This ever-popular Shakespeare comedy, As You Like It, is directed by Abigail Isaac, an alumna of The Shakespeare Theatre’s professional training program. One of the divisions of The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s Summer Professional Training Program, the Next Stage Ensemble was created to foster the work of early-career actors, while serving surrounding communities with exciting and affordable live theatre. Participants take advanced classes in voice and movement, while working on hour-long plays. Acting as "ambassadors" of The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey during the summer months, the Next Stage Ensemble brings theatre to a variety of locations throughout the region including retirement communities, libraries, summer camps, bookstores, hospices, corporations and schools. This will be the 12th consecutive year that the Teaneck Public Library has hosted a presentation by the Next Stage Ensemble. These performances are always among the most popular programs to be held at the library, usually to overflow audiences. Although the Friday Morning Group programs are geared toward the adult and senior citizen population, the public is welcome to attend this free performance of As You Like It, which will be held in the library auditorium, keeping in mind that adults, especially senior citizens, will be seated first. The library is located at 840 Teaneck Road at the corner of Cedar Lane in Teaneck.
