Each year as the summer winds down, dedicated theater lovers gather to celebrate one of the city’s most cherished traditions — an evening under the stars with Nashville Shakespeare Festival. Perfect as a date night or a hangout with family and friends, the festival has food trucks, snacks and pre-show entertainment. The festival marked its 36th anniversary season with a charming production of the Bard’s As You Like It. And though it’s hard to imagine Summer Shakespeare without longtime artistic director Denice Hicks (who stepped down in September), I’ve no doubt the festival will continue to bring art lovers together for years to come.Â
