About the Nashville Shakespeare Festival Education Experience Tour:
In 1992, responding to the need for an arts-in-education program in the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, the Nashville Shakespeare Festival developed a series of touring versions of Shakespeare’s best-known works. Since then, these abridged productions tour to middle and high schools throughout the region as well as colleges and universities, libraries, and other venues. To accompany the performance, The Nashville Shakespeare Festival’s company of professional actors and teaching artists can also provide dynamic in-classroom workshops as well as Q&A sessions that deepen students’ understanding of the text and the production.
