Fort Benton hosts As You Like It at City Park on Thursday, August 7 at 6:00 PM - don’t forget your picnic blanket!

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks returns for its 53rd season, bringing the magic of live theatre to communities across Montana (and beyond) from June through September. With performances held under open skies and free to attend, this treasured summer tradition invites audiences of all ages to gather for an evening of storytelling, connection, and culture. Featuring two beloved Shakespearean works - Henry V and As You Like It - the tour will reach more than 60 towns across five states, creating unforgettable moments under Montana's quintessential Big Sky.

This summer’s production of As You Like It offers a joyful, nature-filled escape into Shakespeare’s world of wit, romance, and disguise. Follow the fearless Rosalind as she ventures into the Forest of Arden, where love blooms, identities shift, and laughter echoes through the trees. With its playful spirit and heartfelt moments, As You Like It is a celebration of transformation, community, and the many forms that love can take.

For more Shakespeare in the Parks performances, head to Great Falls for Henry V on August 8 or As You Like It on August 9.
