The humid evenings and back to school sales of August not only usher in excessive amounts of mosquito repellent and new backpacks, but the sights and sounds of a Nashville tradition: The Nashville Shakespeare Festival!
With compelling performances of Macbeth and The Taming of the Shrew in their archive vault, the cast and crew proudly present Much Ado About Nothing as their 25th annual festival production. Sarah and I went to see it on it's opening night, August 16, 2012, and were quickly captivated by the wit and flash of the performance. The onstage band added dimension and foundation to the talented artists singing, dancing, and shining across the stage. And we're not the only one's who enjoyed it, check out the Nashville Scene's review!
What you may not know is that this summer, while the NSF is celebrating it's 25th anniversary, the original Shakespeare in the Park is rejoicing in 50 years of providing the landmark works of William Shakespeare to the masses. The Delacorte Theatre in Central Park in New York City has provided house and home to many celebrities as they have recited the works to so many memorable works. CBS This Morning recently featured the Delacorte and the story of this milestone, check it out!
I {allison} have been attending NSF shows at Nashville's Centennial Park for several years now and look forward to carrying on that tradition for many years to come {including an encore performance with my sister in a few weeks}! It's an exceedingly good way to support the arts, local organizations, and summer fun!
