If you’ve ever wanted to say “yeah, I’ve read all of Shakespeare’s plays,” this is the perfect opportunity to achieve that lofty goal! NPL and the Nashville Shakespeare Festival invites, you to read each one out loud in a reading circle! There will be 12 chairs in a circle and whoever wants to participate will take a seat. Additional seating available for anyone who wants to read along silently. All voices, all dialects welcomed! This is intended to be light and fun-so bring your sense of humor.
