The Alabama Shakespeare Festival, located in Montgomery - Alabama's state capital - is the sixth largest Shakespeare festival in the world and attracts more than 300,000 annual visitors from all 50 states and over 60 countries.

This year's plays include "Rocket City" by Mark Saltzman with performances from April 18 to May 18.

As the U.S. enters the Cold War, a brash Army major moves famed German rocket scientist Wernher Von Braun and his team to Huntsville, Alabama. Sparks fly when a young Jewish woman becomes aware of Von Braun's Nazi past and attempts to lead public outcry against the project. A Southern Writers' Project World Premiere inspired by true events.
According to the Festival, "Rocket City" is recommended for ages 13 and up.

The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is truly a world-class venue. It's been around for decades and the plays get better every year. Having a space-themed production on the schedule is fantastic news.
