The Nashville Shakespeare Festival
THE BEST WAY TO READ SHAKESPEARE’S PLAYS IS OUT LOUD AND WITH FRIENDS!
The Nashville Shakespeare Festival invites you to read every play Shakespeare wrote, out loud in a reading circle. Once a month, we will gather at the Downtown Nashville Public Library on Church Street to read one of the works of William Shakespeare.
This Blog is a discussion of the reading by those that participate and for those that can't join us.

Denice Hicks
Your Facilitator: Nashville Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director
Denice Hicks has been working for The Nashville Shakespeare Festival since 1990, and has held the position of Artistic Director from 1998-2002 and since 2005. Local audiences might know her best as an actress, having worked on Nashville stages since 1980. For Shakespeare in the Park, she directed the Asian-influenced Macbeth, as well as lively versions of The Tempest, and Twelfth Night. For The Festival's Winter Shakespeare at Troutt Theater, she has directed Hamlet and most recently the critically acclaimed Vaudeville-styled Richard the Third. An avid advocate for empowering students with Shakespeare, Denice has edited and directed touring productions of Shakespeare’s works, developed workshops for students of all ages, and created the Festival’s Apprentice Company Training Program. Educated at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pa, she moved to Nashville in 1980 to perform at Opryland. Denice was an original company member of the Tennessee Repertory Theatre, and was among the founders of both the Darkhorse Theater and of People’s Branch Theatre. An Ingram Fellowship award winner, her work has been praised by the Tennessean, Nashville City Search, and The City Paper, among other publications, from which she has received “Best Actor” and “Best Director” acknowledgments.

I am so glad we are setting this up for people to continue the conversation!
I went to yesterday's The Taming of the Shrew reading with a friend, and had a great time! Maybe next time we'll even read aloud..
We had to miss April and May due to prior commitments. Really looking forward to being back in June, though. I have a suggestion - with the great turnouts that we've been having, why not expand the number of readers from 12 to 25? I would just need a bigger circle. The real attraction is in getting to read. Just my $0.02.
We are slowly and surely expanding the reading circle. We'll see how the turn out is this weekend and we'll most likely offer 16-18 reading chairs. It is ideal for everybody who wants to read to get the chance to! Thanks for your two cents!
