About Festival Stage - Alabama Shakespeare Festival

Festival Stage - Alabama Shakespeare Festival is the larger of the two indoor theatres housed within the Alabama Shakespeare Festival’s Carolyn Blount Theatre complex at 1 Festival Drive in Montgomery, Alabama.

The Festival Stage seats approximately 750 guests and is operated by the Alabama Shakespeare Festival.

The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is one of the largest Shakespeare festivals in the world and serves as the official State Theatre of Alabama. Its Festival Stage hosts an annual professional season that includes Shakespeare, classic drama, contemporary plays, musicals, family and holiday shows, and educational programming.
