Alabama Shakespeare Festival – 2021 Grant Recipient

Each year, the Alabama National Fair puts money back into our community via grants to charities. One of our 2021 recipients is the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. “From its founding in a high school auditorium in Anniston in 1972, ASF has been a leader in the performing arts throughout the state, region, and country. ASF broadens the cultural identity of the South by producing classics, Shakespeare, contemporary plays, musicals, theatre for young audiences, and exciting new works. ASF has provided education programs to more than one million students; annually, SchoolFest, a student-matinee program, presents high-quality theatrical experiences to nearly 35,000 students.”
