The Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Memphis (UofM) presents "As You Like It," the musical, literally on the mainstage at the Humphreys Theatre Building.

The audience is limited to 125 people who will be sitting on sod on the stage, in a "Shakespeare in the Park" setting, so tickets are limited.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
