The eighth annual weekend of Nashville Shakespeare Festival’s Summer Shakespeare at Academy Park returns to Franklin on Thursday, September 26 through Sunday, September 29.
If all the world’s a stage, join the band in As You Like It, one of Shakespeare’s most joyful romantic comedies. Experience a group of musicians, poets and other colorful characters as they compose the world they want to live in, discover hidden truths, build an unlikely community and create a brand new sound along the way.
Performances take place on the Academy Park field (112 Everbright Avenue, Franklin) nightly at 7 p.m.
Gates open at 5:15 p.m., with an educational lecture series starting at 5:30 p.m. and pre-show entertainment starting at 6 p.m., featuring:
- The Corgis (September 26)
- Stray Arcade (September 27)
- Justyna Kelly (September 28)
- All Poets & Heroes (September 29)
A varying selection of food trucks will be selling a variety of dining options on site before and during each performance; visit here for the full food truck schedule. All performances are open to the public and free to attend.
