Alabama Shakespeare Festival

The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is a nonprofit theatre company in Montgomery that stages plays by Shakespeare and other classical writers. The organization operates two performance venues and produces approximately ten shows each year.

The festival was founded in 1972 and grew from small beginnings into one of the largest Shakespeare festivals in the world. This expansion reflects a deepening commitment to classical theatre and artistic achievement in the region.

The festival serves residents and visitors by offering performances that connect classical texts with contemporary interpretations and artistic vision.

The theatre is located in Montgomery's Blount Cultural Park and is easily accessible to visitors. Plan ahead and check the performance schedule, as offerings change throughout the year.

The festival operates within a cultural district that hosts other arts institutions, creating a hub for multiple artistic experiences in one location. Visitors can explore theatre alongside other galleries and cultural venues in the same area.
