About Our Event

The Heart of America Shakespeare Festival’s Valentine-inspired gala event, Romantic Revels, celebrates our 21st year of dining, dancing and romancing at the InterContinental Hotel at the Plaza. All monies raised will support the Festival’s 31st anniversary season of programs; the FREE professional production of The Tempest in Southmoreland Park and our year-round adult and youth education workshops and classes.

Thank you to our Honorary Chairmen, Drs. Susan and Charles Porter
