A community-based initiative focused on providing small-town, classical, outdoor theater and a village festival experience to local and regional patrons under the stars of northeast Kansas. Each fall, local volunteers transform a wood on the edge of town, affectionately known as Sir William's Hollow, into a rustic outdoor Shakespearean amphitheater and family friendly village festival. The festival was established in 2010 and has continued to grow into a successful annual event with over fifty food, game, and artisan booths spread throughout the forest that features a full length Shakespearean show nightly. Last year's show and village saw over 7,000 local and regional patrons attend over two weekends.
