The play by William Shakespeare, accounts the events leading to the death of Julius Caesar, the leader of the Roman Republic with a massive populist following. Seeing the potential for tyranny in Caesar, the honorable Brutus and the scheming Cassius plot a conspiracy to assassinate Caesar. Then when Caesar's friend, Mark Antony, propagandized the citizens, strife and civil war ensue.

General admission is free of charge. Local food vendors including Kentucky Strong BBQ, Drea’s Catfish Bucket and Kona Ice will be on site before and during performances. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and enjoy Shakespeare in the Ravine.
