MISSION STATEMENT Sweet Tea Shakespeare gathers a diverse community around a common table to delight in the magic of story, song, and stagecraft. Sweet Tea Shakespeare is a former affiliate of Fayetteville State University. WHO WE ARE Sweet Tea Shakespeare is a not-for-profit theatre company and training ground inspired by Shakespeare and the early modern period in its spirit and operations. HONEY The Honey Series at Sweet Tea Shakespeare celebrates the work of women in theatre. Each production features women in every aspect of the creative process, from acting and writing to producing and costuming. Shows in the series include stories focused on women and often feature new adaptations of classical works by beloved authors, as well as original work by female playwrights. LIT Lit is our irreverent series that sends up Shakespeare — over drinks. Part Bard, part improv, part music, and tons of audience interaction, Lit is a raucous celebration held in local breweries, pubs, and bars.
