Brown and White Vol 13 no 60 (1906): As You Like It

Friday, June 14, 2013

At the end of the spring semester of 1906, the Ben Greet's Company of Players performed As You Like It behind the President's House:

The open-air theatre was located on the law in the rear of President Drinker's home, the audience occupying chairs on the large tennis court, and the performance taking place on the natural stage on the hill-side. From the first entrance of the huntsmen, singing their merry songs as they wound around the mountain path above, to the exit of the bridal party at the close of the play, the attitude of the spectators was one of unbroken interest and delight. No lovelier Forest of Arden would have been imagined.
