Back in the day, the great playwright's works were received with considerably more levity (and lack of sobriety) than is typical nowadays.

With lots of community help, including a new venue at Westminster Oaks' Maguire Center, the show went on Saturday and Sunday.

The Southern Shakespeare Company will present a rapid, rollicking mash-up of The Bard's complete catalog.

Kelsey Scott graduated from FAMU, taught at FSU and has maintained a steady connection to the Capital City.

The company is partnering with Leon County's LeRoy Collins Public Library system to bring the "best of the Bard" to the area's young people.
