A Shakespeare Happening
A Shakespeare Happening Avondale Estates Town Green, a community-centered performance series made possible through government arts funding!
Presented by Bard x Sage PR in partnership with Ted Terry, DeKalb County Commissioner, District 6, and City of Avondale Estates, this FREE event is part of A Shakespeare Happening Spring Series—an initiative designed to bring academic enrichment and high-quality, accessible theatre directly to the community.
This special production features performers from the Atlanta Shakespeare Company and offers a unique twist: audiences will have the opportunity to meet “William Shakespeare” himself, brought to life by an actor hosting an interactive Q&A experience.
The event runs from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, culminating in the mainstage performance of Romeo & Juliet at 4:00 PM.
Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and umbrellas for shade, as the event takes place outdoors.
