Each year the Georgia Shakespeare Festival hosts a five-month season of William Shakespeare's plays, as well as a few works by other playwrights, at the Conant Performing Arts Center on the campus of Oglethorpe University. The festival starts with a week of free performances.

Founded in 1985, Georgia Shakespeare creates thoughtful, bold and passionate interpretations of a diverse body of work rooted in Shakespeare and branching out to embrace the best writers and ideas of all eras. On the stage and through educational programming, we strive to entertain, to ignite the imagination and to creatively explore the journey of the human spirit.
