"All the World's A Stage and all the men and women in it merely players."

As we leave "As You Like It," we want to humbly thank our entire community for their support of Schmeeckle Shakes. It was a beautiful show, but it would just another stage if we didn't have so many wonderful volunteers, collaborators, and audience members to bring it to life! As you like it, it turns out we are more than "merely players." We are keeping the performing arts alive in our community!
