WHY IT MATTERS: Free Shakespeare. Real Community Impact.

Scenic City Shakespeare provides free outdoor theater to the people of Chattanooga - no ticket required, no barriers to entry. Your gift directly sustains that goal.

▸ Serving Every Corner of Chattanooga

SCS performs across the city at venues like Greenway Farms, Barking Legs Theater, and Crabtree Farms, reaching neighborhoods across the socioeconomic spectrum, including areas with limited access to the arts.

▸ Keeping the Arts Accessible

Free admission means a family, a student, or a first-time theatergoer never has to choose between art and their budget. Every seat, every night, is open to everyone.

▸ Supporting Local Artists

Stipends for Chattanooga-area actors and production team members invest in the creative professionals who make our cultural community vibrant.

▸ Keeping Shakespeare Alive & Relevant

From schools to parks, SCS brings the Bard's stories to life in ways that resonate with modern audiences, proving 400-year-old plays still have the power to move, delight, and connect us.

This spring, Scenic City Shakespeare presents William Shakespeare's classic tale of jealousy and manipulation:

OTHELLO

See the Moor of Venice every Friday and Saturday night in May. Your support helps bring the play to life in Greenway Farms, making it free to the public, and keeping the spirit of the Bard thriving in Chattanooga.
