Sweet Tea Shakespeare (STS), a beloved, local not-for-profit theatre company inspired by Shakespeare and the early modern period, has been awarded a Community Organization REsource (CORE) Grant in the amount of $50,000 from the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County to support their upcoming season.
This grant supports Sweet Tea Shakespeare through both organizational and programming support. The CORE grant will assist much of STS's programming in Fayetteville/Cumberland County, including Green Tea, their Youth Shakespeare Company, and their robust 2024-2025 season which includes productions of a new adaptation of The Odyssey, Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, their annual Christmas concert Behold, a play adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, Pan (in partnership with Green Tea Youth Company) and a new adaptation of Robin Hood, running in repertory with Shakespeare’s King John.
Sweet Tea Shakespeare is delighted to produce these shows in local Cumberland County venues to provide its diverse communities with access to the magic of theatre. Rehearsals have begun for the company's first show of the season, The Odyssey. Performances begin Sept. 19 and run Sept. 19-22 and Sept. 26-29. Tickets can be purchased at SweetTeaShakespeare.com.
Changes in performance location or time due to inclement weather will be announced on Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s Facebook page.
