Exciting New Partnership!

We have the wonderful opportunity of partnering with the new Gainesville theatre group "Shakespeare in the Swamp" for our upcoming production of "The Tempest"! The group just started in September and we are thrilled to be working with them on this production. Here is a little bit about "Shakespeare in the Swamp": Shakespeare in the Swamp is a community theatre group that performs Shakespeare's plays in the open air. Our season consists of two shows a year, one in April and one in October, when the weather is the perfect in beautiful Gainesville, Florida!

All of our shows are free to attend and we invite you to bring blankets, pillows and chairs to enjoy the show! We rely solely on the gracious donations of the theatre loving citizens of the community to continue running!

2011 will be our very first season and we look forward to putting together a wonderful community troupe that will continue to be an active group in and around Alachua County for many years to come!
