YAMATO’s Taiko drumming is a unique blend of rhythm, movement, and energy that must be experienced to be fully understood. On stage, they stand with more than 40 Taiko drums, all of which have different characters. For example, their largest drum, Odaiko, was produced from a massive tree over 400 years old. They do not simply make their Taiko drums explode with sound; they produce delicate music that provides the listener with a palette of meticulously crafted sound. YAMATO’s performances are known as physical music — sometimes intense, sad, comforting, yet in the next moment comical. They have performed over 4,000 shows in 54 countries.
Step into a rugged world where the rolling plains meet the spirit of Shakespeare’s timeless comedy. “As You like It” by William Shakespeare is a story following the themes of love, exile, mistaken identities, and gender roles. This production imagines the Shakespearean comedy if the story was taken to the Wild West. Watch the cast transform As You Like It into a vibrant, colorful Wild West adventure that stays true to the core of Shakespeare’s comedy while exploring new terrain in the realm of cowboy culture.
“As You Like It” is re-imagined as a high-stakes adventure on the frontier, where cowboys and cowgirls swap banter and bravery in a land full of romance, disguise, and self-discovery. Set in an untamed land, this production follows Rosalind, exiled from a corrupt society, as she seeks refuge in the wild, only to discover love and identity in the most unexpected places.
The theme of cowgirls and cowboys provides the perfect backdrop for this story of transformation and freedom. The Forest of Arden represents a new frontier where people reinvent themselves in search of purpose and belonging. With its fierce independence, rugged beauty, and vast open spaces, the West mirrors the play’s themes of freedom, love, and the wild potential of life when boundaries are left behind.
In this version, expect quick-draw duels, lively saloon exchanges, and a fresh take on Shakespeare’s beloved characters—where the law of the land is only as certain as the heart’s desire. Whether in the saddle or around the campfire, this “As You Like It” offers a fresh spin on love and identity set in a time when the frontier itself was full of possibility. Get ready for a rollicking good time with laughs, love, and a little bit of cowboy charm!
TICKETS: Adult $12, Student/Child $7. Evening performances January 24 & 25 at 7 PM. Matinee performance January 26 at 2 PM. Tickets can be purchased in advance at CharterArts.org.
