Like a traveling troupe of Elizabethan players, this small band of performers would arrive in places like Hood River, Corvallis, Beaverton, Astoria, Sandy and Hillsboro with everything they needed to put on a show in their "bags and baggage..." (hence our company name, which comes directly from Shakespeare's great pastoral comedy As You Like It). In 2007, B&B partnered with the owners of The Venetian Theatre to become the newly opened venue's resident performing arts organization.
