Our first festival will feature plays adapted from the works of Richard Wright, Ernest Hemingway, Kate Chopin, and more. Thank you to ARTSmemphis for helping to make AMERICAN PAGE TO AMERICAN STAGE possible!

“We’d really like Memphis to be known as a classical arts incubator — one of the capitals of classical theater, not just for Shakespeare but for the great American writers, too."
