For the second year in a row, the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival canceled its annual production in Southmoreland Park. Plans call for a return in 2022 for the Festival s 30th anniversary.

On its website, the group pulled no punches as to the reason for its disappointing decision: “The Festival was fully prepared to work within local health guidelines,” it stated. “But, due to extremely strict COVID-19 safety protocols from Actors’ Equity Association (Equity), mounting a production would have been both logistically challenging and prohibitively expensive.”
