The annual Heart of America Shakespeare Festival has returned to Kansas City, this time with the story of Julius Caesar's assassination and the turmoil that led to a civil war.
Sidonie Garrett, the director of this play and the executive artistic director of the organization, says she brought this show back to Kansas City to encourage “critical thinking” this election year.
“Watching a play like this reminds us we have choices, we have to think about what those choices are, and if you make a choice something is going to come of it,” said Garrett.
