The Shakespeare Project

​

Beginning as a mere conversation about reading comprehension, great theatrical performances and Shakespeare, this discussion grew to include others, who reminisced about the Alabama Shakespeare Festival’s origins in Anniston, from 1972 until 1985. 

​

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, this project has now grown to include teacher training, camps, resource guides for our educators and students, workshops for classrooms, apprenticeships for high schoolers and college students interested in technical theatre and performing arts, and FREE performances with professional actors.
