Alabama Shakespeare Festival - Montgomery, Alabama
Getting your children involved in the theatre is something they will treasure for the rest of their lives. Since they are not allowed in the threatre for normal performances if they are under 6 years of age, there are special productions done for just the little ones. These are posted for parents to see and make plans to attend well in advance of the actual date.
On Saturdays Alabama Shakespeare Festival offers Theatre in the Mind, a free adult humanities program featuring lectures, author talks and actor discussion designed to help audiences understand the plays. This opportunity will make the plays you see even more enjoyable.
The theatre has a special Children's Theatre and SchoolFest where students are given matinee programs to expose them to the works of the great playwrights. Over 36,000 children a year come to the theatre for this type of event from all around the region.
