Time Out says

See Shakespeare's classic "As You Like It" in a new light as Smith Street Stage presents a free production of the show through a gender queer and gender-expansive lens. Shows run on select dates from June 8-25 at Brooklyn's Carroll Park for Pride Month. 

"This production examines what it means to find oneself while exploring love in a world void of outside structures of sexuality and gender, offering a myriad of joyful possibilities of the human experience," the show's organizers explain. The show's set in modern-day New York City, bringing a fresh queer perspective to a timeless comedy.

A limited amount of seating will be provided, and guests are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets to set up near the stage. No reservations are required.
