Description
Nashville is home to hot chicken, cool music, and Southern Shakespeare. Surprisingly, Shakespeare’s work has been at the center of the city’s social justice movements, from racially inclusive productions in the Jim Crow South to the shows managed by the director of the Ryman who built her career—and Nashville’s music industry—before she had the right to vote. In this interactive presentation, audiences will explore how our city’s literary and artistic past haunts our cultural present in unexpected ways.
