If you enjoy musical comedy, John Hughes' iconic movies of the 1980's, Shakespeare, and the idea of seeing me (Elisabeth Ness (Schneider) '06) do a cartwheel over someone's legs while wearing a neckbrace, then I recommend you see Like You Like It during its limited engagement at Brooklyn's premier Off-Off-Broadway theater.  Tickets are selling out quickly!

All the worlds a mall in this mix of Shakespeare and John Hughes.

Its 1985 and the brand new Arden Mall is hosting a high school dance. Bookworm babe Rosalind wants to go with varsity wrestler Orlando, but shes never had the guts to talk to him. Rosalind disguises herself as a frat dude named Corey and learns Orlandos true feelings for her. But things get tricky when Corey complicates the lives of three other couples at Arden. Rosalind will do anything to get Orlando, even if it means showing up at the dance as both herself and Corey.

It's a show filled with memorable tunes, a hip sense of humor, pure joy and a huge heart!
