The Virginia Shakespeare Festival is now underway, as performances of “Romeo and Juliet” opened the festival’s 38th season last week.
This season’s performances are once again preceded by entertainment from the Bard’s Market.
At the market, open one hour before each performance, festival-goers can browse gifts and donated items, while listening to performances from local musicians. Food and beverages are also available for purchase.
Operated by the Guild of the Virginia Shakespeare Festival, a local nonprofit that supports the festival, the market inhabits the Dodge Room of Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall, adjacent to the lobby.
The remaining entertainment schedule is as follows:
*July 6-8, 20-22 and Aug. 2-4: Kathy Teck, piano
