Greensburg, PA –Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, As You Like It, will be performed at Seton Hill February 12 – 21, 2004. Seton Hill’s production will be guest directed by veteran theatre and television performer Ron Siebert. Siebert’s experience includes performing on Broadway under directing legend Mike Nichols and touring nationally with M. Butterfly. Siebert is also the author of a manual on acting Shakespeare, and has taught and coached the performing of Shakespeare for the Pittsburgh Public Theatre.

"As You Like It," says Siebert, "is an illustration of the power of love conquering all. We wonder how the characters at the end of the play manage to leave the stage and return in wedding attire. It seems to be a ‘stage convention’. It’s not. It’s a manifestation of the power of love - love as right action, the result or accumulation of doing the right things."
