The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is the State Theatre of Alabama. In addition to producing the highest level of professional theatre, ASF operates Schoolfest, a comprehensive, student-matinee program that exposes more than 40,000 students each year to the theatrical arts. The theatre also conducts multiple camps and classes for children and adults throughout the year. ASF’s annual Southern Writers’ Project Festival of New Plays focuses on the creation of new Southern-themed works, many of which have gone on to be published or produced at theatres around the country. To keep ticket prices affordable, over half of ASF’s $7.5 million budget must come from contributions. Your bidding as high as possible will well serve ASF and, in turn, the students and adults of the state and region.
