In this refreshing comedy, the Bard's spirited heroine and her cousin leave behind their familiar world and encounter a company of colorful characters, each on their own journey of love and self-acceptance. Enhanced by a soundtrack of popular songs, this heartwarming story weaves together laughter and romance, culminating in a joyful celebration of love and new beginnings. Experience the timeless charm of this beloved tale and immerse yourself in the magic of the Forest of Arden as love, self-discovery, and transformation intertwine!

The third weekend in May Scenic City Shakespeare shakes it up with original performances. "Billie the Bard's Puppet Playhouse" is a new hands-on educational puppetry program created by Scenic City Shakespeare with funding from the Tennessee Arts Commission. The program premieres April 15 and 16 at the Chattanooga Public Library auditorium and will receive an encore at Shakespeare in the Park May 19 and 20 starting at 7:00. Through classic scenes, audiences will experience Shakespeare's text and engage in a magical story alongside puppet characters. Back for a second year, "From a Hat" style improvised adaptations - this years title, "As You Like Hat!" - make for a delightful evening of improv as actors pull their As You Like It character from the hat and perform the play through a collection of improvised games and scenes.
