WHAT AUDIENCES ARE SAYING ABOUT SWEET TEA SHAKESPEARE
“This is not boring Shakespeare! I have never felt so welcome with a group of people.”
“… easily the best play I’ve ever seen. From the unique costumes, the jokes, the casual welcoming atmosphere, the style of adaptation, to the songs before, between and during the performance…”
“A dedicated, talented, inspiring, loving and devoted group of people!”
“Make time in your busy schedule to catch their work! It’s worth it.”
“…the perfect way to spend a summer evening!”
“Sweet Tea Shakespeare is great for families, and would be a great way to introduce Shakespeare to children in a low-pressure, casual environment.”
“If Shakespeare were to time travel, I think he would be very at home at a Sweet Tea Shakespeare play. I’ve never had a theater experience quite like it; the great humor, rollicking music and consummate acting make each show very memorable. When I’m watching a Sweet Tea Shakespeare show I’m the happiest I’ve been since I moved to Fayetteville.”
“… ”The Tempest”– perfect summer play, excellent cast, vibrant interpretation, lively music, good food, great crowd…”
“Best show every time. You’ll love it. Make plans to attend.”
“Such an amazing experience!! Perfectly executed!!!”
“If you didn’t understand Shakespeare when you were in high school, you’ll love the quality of entertainment, and gain the appreciation for this art form that you couldn’t get just reading it in English class.”

It’s the […]
In Between Days
Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s recently closed 2016-17 season was rich and bold (if you’ll pardon me for sounding like a barbecue sauce label): we laughed with two Lits; cried with Antony and Cleopatra and Othello; sighed with Behold; and marveled at Paradise Lost, Saint Joan, and Cymbeline. But now it’s July. The summer shows have ended. […]
Posthumus: The Emotion Grenade
By Tyler Graeper, Haberdashery Wright Every actor has something that they know they are good at and something at which they know they are bad. For example: I know that I can yell, and usually yell pretty convincingly. I can turn anger and other evil feelings on at the drop of a hat. My struggle? […]
