The Tennessee Stage Company and their newly rechristened Shakespeare program, Knoxville Shakespeare, are excited to announce a new partnership and program with Mabry-Hazen House to perform selections from Shakespeare’s histories on the historic grounds of Mabry’s Hill.
Set against the backdrop of Mabry-Hazen House and natural beauty of Mabry’s Hill, the initial production will be an excerpt piece called Kings And Crowns featuring scenes and soliloquies from Shakespeare’s history plays. The performance will feature scenes from the most rarely performed of Shakespeare’s plays, including Richard II, Henry VIII, Henry IV, Part Two, King Henry VI, Part Three and Henry V. The performance will be in the style of promenade theatre and will take place across the entire grounds of Mabry’s Hill with the audience moving from place to place between scenes.
Doors open thirty minutes before curtain. Reservations and tickets are $12.00, group rate of 4 tickets for $45, and neighborhood residents (ZIP code 37915) are $10. We will honor Penny For The Arts and all children 6 and under are free. We urge all attendees to bring a folding chair or a blanket since the performances will be at various locations on the grounds of the Mabry-Hazen House. Proceeds benefit actors, Tennessee Stage Company, and Mabry-Hazen House. Refreshments and light concessions will be available for purchase. Tickets are on sale now at: tickets.tennesseestage.com or Eventbrite.
