16th Annual Jefferson County Children's Shakespeare Festival

It's time to see which children's theater group will win the festival this year! The powerhouse theater group, Curtains Up Theater Exchange, is back along with the students from Southern Grove Middle School, but the newcomers from Winchester Academy will also be there ready to strut their stuff on the boards. Come see what goes right and what goes wrong. Will the judges be impressed and excited or questioning why they ever agreed to be involved? You never know what can and will happen at the Jefferson County Children's Shakespeare Festival!

Smiles and Frowns Playhouse is excited to introduce the young actors of eastern North Carolina to the works of William Shakespeare in collaboration with Brendan P. Kelso, author of Playing with Plays, edited versions of Shakespeare's classic plays for children.

Auditions will be Tuesday and Wednesday September 6th and 7th from 5 to 7pm with performances on November 11th at 7pm and November 12th at 2pm.

Come join the fun!!
