The Shakespeare Project was established in 2017 to enhance the understanding of performing arts and literature by presenting free, professional productions of classic works, including Shakespeare.
Thanks to community support and grant funding from the Alabama Humanities Alliance and The Ayers Foundation, this project has now grown to include teacher training, camps, resource guides for our educators and students, workshops for classrooms, apprenticeships for high school and college students interested in technical theatre and performing arts, and FREE performances with professional actors.
