Arts in Action: The 10 Weeks Festival—Final Countdown!
Arts in Action: The 10 Weeks Festival reached its goal of $10,000 over this weekend for the Arts in Education Fund and the Care to Learn Fund.
The best part is we have an exciting finale for the inaugural festival, the 3rd annual Springfield Shakespeare Festival. This year the festival will include a well-loved comedy, Much Ado about Nothing, in Jordan Valley Park as well as performances by singers of Springfield Regional Opera featuring various operas and musical theatre selections using the Shakespeare’s text and famous storylines. Come downtown and support the Bard in Springfield!
