All The World's A Stage is an updated gay-friendly musical farce based on As You Like It. Except ... well ... this ain't Shakespeare anymore! It's a soap opera! Lust triangles! Lesbian Celia is hot for Rosalind who is pursuing a porn-fixated boy who is dating another boy, who, by the way, is actually Rosalind in disguise. Then there are two sets of brothers who can' t get along until porn-boy saves Oliver from a hungry lion and Frederick becomes a repentant minister. As each character makes a new home in the forest, they also find a way to be themselves, cross-dressers and all.
