At the Lineage Performing Arts Center in Pasadena
When was the last time you went to a Shakespeare show and didn’t know what to expect? Or were genuinely surprised by the ending? Or came out seeing life from a new perspective? After a sold out run at Descanso Gardens, What You Will is coming to Descanso Gardens to bring you a totally new and surprising experience of Shakespeare.
In turns funny, inspiring, heartbreaking, satirical, profound, silly, literal, figurative, and above all honest, What You Will is a passionate and moving dose of humanity through Shakespeare.
This Shakespearean “un-play” is the result of some of the Ensemble’s favorite professional actors, writers, and improvisors creating mini-plays through the lens of their individual backgrounds, responding to and recontextualizing Shakespeare’s stories and words.
Every performance of What You Will is different from the last, with at least 30% of its content replaced with new material each month, guaranteeing a new experience and new surprises upon each return to the theater.
