Beware (or Enjoy?) the Ides of March

Who remembers their Roman history…or their Shakespeare? On March 15, 44 BCE, Julius Caesar was assassinated (“Et tu, Brute?”) at a meeting of the Senate. This year, things aren’t going to be so violent, but there will be plenty of straight-from-the-Globe-Theatre drama happening at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons. The World’s a Stage, a Frankfort-based nonprofit, has teamed up with TC’s Mashup Rock ‘n Roll Musical for a free Shakespeare festival packed with food, drinks, and live performances. The crew promises that “Shakespeare’s themes of love, fate, folly, and betrayal will come alive” on Sunday, March 15, from 1-5pm. RSVPs are appreciated, but not required at theworldsastage.org/event-details/the-ides-of-march. And stay tuned for the 2026 Lakeside Shakespeare Festival (featuring A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth) returning to Tank Hill in Frankfort July 23-Aug 1.
