Tennessee Shakespeare Festival

June 27-July 6, 2008

Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

The inaugural Tennessee Shakespeare Festival will be held in Bell Buckle, Tennessee on June 27, 28, & 29 and July 4, 5 & 6, 2008. The performances of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" will be held on the Webb School athletic grounds. There will be tent seating as well as grounds seating for those preferring to bring a blanket. The Bell Buckle Cafe will be on site offering a variety of their down home style country cooking for picnicking.

The festival will be an alliance of artistic, educational and civic entities from the Middle Tennessee area. The performance will be "A Mid-Summer's Night Dream" but with a slight twist of scene and accent. Though purely Shakespeare, the performance will be one that surprises and entertains even the savviest Shakespearian. 

Helpful Information: Please print voucher from web site when ordering tickets and bring to the gate for entry. Though the event is outside there will be ample wheelchair access to the event.

    The Tennessee Shakespeare Festival continues its highly successful and touted production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" this weekend in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. All reports are that this is one of the best productions of "Midsummer" ever seen in the south, with a professional cast from all over the country. This highly accessible production set in the Deep South in the 1930's with ghosts from the Civil War era appearing throughout has been hailed even by those who have never experienced Shakespeare before as "The funniest play I have ever seen!" If you are near, you should take a day to visit historic Bell Buckle, have a picnic on the grounds and enjoy Shakespeare under the stars. You won't regret it, I assure you! Collapse

    Actor/Director Lane Davies was the original Mason (of "Santa Barbara"), and was my favorite actor in the series.
