About The Shakespeare Evolution Series
After completing Shakespeare’s entire body of work this past Spring, ASC aims to do it all again by producing his plays in the order in which they were written. We start with the comedies!
Upgrade Your Shakespeare Tavern Experience
The Atlanta Shakespeare Company always offers a stellar night of theater. But for a birthday, anniversary, or a night when you are entertaining a special client, maybe you’d like a little more pizzazz....
We did it!
ASC is now the first theatre company in the United States to have performed Shakespeare’s entire 39-play canon.
We now serve liquor!
The title says it all!

What is the Shakespeare Tavern?
The New American Shakespeare Tavern is unlike other theaters. It is a place out of time; a place of live music, hand-crafted period costumes, outrageous sword fights with the entire experience centered on the passion and poetry of the spoken word. With an authentic British Pub Menu and a broad selection of Irish ales and premium brews, the Shakespeare Tavern is a place to eat, drink, and nourish the soul. Read what our actors, directors and staff have to say about the work we do at The Shakespeare Tavern on our Community Blog.

I attended the 1/22/ performance of The Merchant of Venice. It was my first time attending but will definitely not be my last! I enjoyed both the drama and humor of the play,especially the way the scene with Portia and Nerissa confronting their husbands was played as a sort of “girlfriends conspiring”, almost modern! But I was moved to tears by Doug Kaye’s Shylock. His speech comparing himself as a man and a human being to any Christian made me want to cry out “Yes! Yes you are!”
Alison MorganDoug Kaye deserves a Tony for his sympathetic portrayal of a complex Shylock. And as always, the entire company was excellent. Bravo! I’m coming back to see the play and bringing friends!
Jane KellyMy husband and I went to last night’s show and had a GRAND time. We wanted something special to do for our wedding anniversary and I am glad we chose your show. We really enjoyed our time at the Tavern. Midsummer is our favorite Shakespeare play and you guys really knocked it out of the park.
