The Shakespeare Project was founded in 2017 in Anniston, Alabama at the original home of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. The Shakespeare Project’s mission is to provide free accessible professional Shakespeare to all, regardless of race, gender, or socio-economic status, under the belief that art is a human right. All performances are free to the general public and surrounding schools. Our shows are only 90 minutes long and specifically tailored to the community of Northeast Alabama.
