On Aug. 4, Traveling Players Ensemble will present The Tempest, Shakespeare’s final masterpiece.

Featuring some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful poetry, run away with this story of destiny, identity, family and following your heart.

Lime Kiln Arts, Inc. is a non-profit (501c3), operating at Lime Kiln Theater in Lexington. It opened in 1984 and is rooted in and inspired by the magic of a natural, outdoor theater. After a brief hiatus that started in 2012, Lime Kiln Theater is thrilled to present its third straight summer season of live music and theater featuring local, regional and national acts.
