The Great Lakes SHAKESPEARE Festival used to perform as many as 5 Shakespeare plays per season. It's now called the Great Lakes THEATER Festival , but it's still doing Shakespeare. This fall's major production at the Ohio Theater is the romantic comedy, "As You Like It". It's a play about identity, love, and what it means to be human.
