Shakespeare in the Park returns to Greenway Farm in Hixson, TN this October with The Winter's Tale. The Bard's riveting romance play is a classic story of jealousy and redemption across 16 years. The Winter's Tale weaves tragedy and comedy into a fairytale with plenty of disguises, a lost princess, and the famous stage direction "exit, pursued by a bear." FREE performances will run Friday and Saturday evenings in October. Catch shows beginning at 7:30 PM October 6 & 7, 13 & 14, 20 & 21, 27 & 28. Admission is FREE, reservations are REQUIRED. Space is limited. Bring your outdoor chairs and blankets - seating is not provided. RSVP now at sceniccityshakespeare.org/tickets. Arrive early to enjoy fare from local food trucks and other vendors. The Winter's Tale is made possible through generous funding from Arts Build's Artists Work grant.
The Artists Work grants program, established in October 2020, provides funding to individual artists, artist studios and non-profit arts organizations to produce artworks for public spaces in Chattanooga. Funding for the program was provided by the Lyndhurst Foundation and Footprint Foundation. Through the Artists Work grant, Scenic City Shakespeare is thrilled to bring in local actor Quentin McCuiston, appearing under a Special Agreement Contract courtesy of Actors' Equity Association.
