Join Monkitree for Shapeshifter through October 29th as they highlight work by Chelsea Ellis, Whitney Gill, and Allison McKeen and their exploration of shapes through ceramics, photography, and painting. In each artist's work one can see recognizable shapes transformed- from circles to the human form. In Whitney Gill’s ceramic forms, broad brushstroke circles may reveal a hidden rectangle. In Allison McKeen’s paintings one may find bisected circles and multicolored arches. While Chelsea Ellis’s photographs morph the human form in unexpected ways.

Theater at Monmouth – As You Like It by William Shakespeare is TAM’s 2022 Shakespeare in Maine Communities Education Tour production. As You Like It will tour for to schools and community centers across the state from October 11-29 and offer school matinee performances October 13 and 14 as well as public performances, for one weekend only, in Cumston Hall October 14 through 16. This project is part of Shakespeare in American Communities, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with ArtsMidwest.
Welcome to Arden. This is the story of Rosalind. Oppressed and exiled from Court under threat of death, she escapes with her cousin into the wild and unpredictable Forest of Arden. All the world’s a stage in As You Like It, Shakespeare’s gender-bending comedy, where poetry, mistaken identities, and true loves lost and found abound.
As You Like It is considered one of Shakespeare’s most progressive plays, with strong themes of Feminism and Gender Expression. Rosalind’s will and determination was uncommon for female characters in Shakespeare’s days. And with her disguise as a man and teaching other men of the forest how to love women, she succeeds in her desire for Orlando, as he uses her teachings to woo her, and ultimately win her hand and heart.
