"With each show (they) make local history and gain audiences. Shakespeare on the Square will find itself woven into the fabric of the city center, and people will come to the plays year after year."

Now Playing . . .
Shakespeare Outloud
The best way to read Shakespeare's plays is out loud -- and with friends!
The Tennessee Stage Company and Shakespeare On The Square invite you to read Shakespeare's plays with us - out loud!
Once a month we will gather to read one of the plays of William Shakespeare.
IT'S FREE AND IT'S FUN!
Reading will be at the Lawson McGee Library on the second Saturday of each month. Readings are free and open to the public. Hearing these plays read aloud offers much more insight into the depths of Shakespeare's work.
We will meet at 2:00 pm. There will be twelve chairs set up and whoever wants to read out loud can choose one of the twelve chairs. There will be additional seating for anyone who wants to read along silently. We will take a fifteen minute break in the middle of each play. Some copies of the play will be available but please bring your own if possible.
Our first reading will be Saturday, October 8, and we'll start with The Two Gentlemen of Verona - one of Shakespeare's very early comedies. Come to the first reading and help plan the rest of the series. We'll let you tell us what you'd like to hear next.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME
We welcome all voices, all dialects. We read the plays for the joy of reading them and to hear and discover more about the plays that have not yet been performed by Shakespeare On The Square.
Maybe one of these is the one we should perform next!
