Shakespeare at Sunset

Shakespeare is back under the stars! Following two successful seasons, the popular community theatre series returns this fall with a new name, a new theatre partner, and an expanded evening experience at the Avondale Estates Town Green.

Presented in partnership with the Office of DeKalb County Commissioner Ted Terry, Super District 6, the City of Avondale Estates, Bard x Sage PR, and Georgia Classic Theatre, Shakespeare at Sunset brings professional classical theatre directly into the community, free of charge.

This season also introduces a new collaboration with Georgia Classic Theatre, founded by longtime Shakespeare actor and director Allen O’Reilly. The company includes accomplished artists with deep roots in Atlanta’s classical theatre community.

And this year, the performances are moving later in the evening so audiences can enjoy Shakespeare as the sun goes down. Come early for live music and family-friendly programming, then settle in for an evening of professional theatre outdoors.
