Tennessee Shakespeare Festival
Mission
Tennessee Shakespeare Company, now in its ninth season, is the Mid-South's first and only professional, 501(c)(3) theatre and education organization which performs the plays of William Shakespeare, as well as other classical and Southern writers; and provides innovative year-round educational and training programming.
Vision
To sustain a classical, professional theatre in Memphis that nurtures artists creatively and financially and encourages audiences to exaltation, curiosity, and wonderment; a center for the community dedicated to re-discovering our faith in life by increasing our awareness of reality and expanding our imagination through an emphasis on the performance, education, and training of William Shakespeare’s works.
“We’ve gone to 1 or 2 plays a year since they started and have never been disappointed. Occasional outdoor settings are wonderful, and the acting always superb.”
