At AST, we're all about connections.

Every summer, we connect with our fellow artists, our audiences, and our community.  This summer, we can’t be together in person, but we CAN still make and grow those connections as we revisit Shakespeare.  Through online and remote experiences, we will offer performance, social, and educational opportunities for our entire community -- UCA, central Arkansas, and nation-wide.
