The Alabama Shakespeare
Festival is among the largest Shakespeare theatres in the world. Designated as
The State Theatre of Alabama, ASF has been located in Montgomery since 1985
when it moved from Anniston as a result of Mr. and Mrs. Wynton M. Blount’s gift
of a performing arts complex set in the 250-acre Wynton M. Blount Cultural
Park. This program/project has been made possible by grants from the Alabama
State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. #
