“There is no clock in the forest…”

In the face of great societal upheaval, a rag tag community forms in the forest of Arden. In the natural rhythms of the woods young love blossoms, hearts are broken and mended, and the denizens of the Forest learn to see each other and themselves with clarity and compassion.

Shakespeare’s most transformative and most musical comedy comes to the Porters’ stage in Fall of 2026.
