Maynardville 2026: Shakespeare's Twelfth Night

"A magical masterpiece, perfectly cast, flawlessly acted and a wonderfully entertaining rendition of Twelfth Night in beautiful Maynardville with delicious eats and drinks at the unique outdoor venue - all a fitting tribute to the 70th anniversary of Shakespeare in the park. We are extremely fortunate to have an annual Shakespeare performance in our Mother City."
