What is the Shakespeare Tavern®?
The Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse 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 a Ready To Eat Café-Style 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.. Watch the video below for a complete look at the Tavern Experience!

ASC is a true gem in our community. They not only provide year-round quality theatre, but their Educational opportunities are wondrous. We started taking our daughter to shows when she was 5 and at 15 she remains a huge fan, as do her many friends.
Patricia Griffith, AtlantaThe Tavern continues to draw us in. We love to attend the plays and be drawn back into a world so rich in language, plot, emotion and themes. What a wonderful resource for people of all ages, a touchstone for those interested in literature, drama, history and art.
Karen Wibell, Rutledge GAI have been to over 90 countries and across all those locations, The Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse has become my favourite place to spend an evening.
