sharing our love of the bard!

Rutherford County Shakespeare Society is dedicated to making the works of Shakespeare accessible and engaging his great contributions in new and fresh forms of expression.

We are a proud sister to The Nashville Shakespeare Festival, and we intend to bring their energy and love of the Bard a few miles south. Rutherford County is a vital, burgeoning community. RuCoShakes intends to honor past and present efforts in our community to present Shakespeare's works, while finding new ways to expand and bring new people into the conversation.
