Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival kicks off this weekend

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - The Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival will kick off this weekend.

It will be the first full festival since 2018.

The seven-week festival will have 28 performances throughout Michiana.

“It’s always fun to see little kids in the front row just really excited and watching the show and getting super into it,” said Jason Comerford, the audience development manager. “And that’s always one of the best parts about doing this kind of work.”
