​MAP360's partnership with the esteemed Alabama Shakespeare Festival extended the engagement and impact of ASF's  theatrical season with this bespoke series.

Moderated by Dr. Shakita Books Jones, professor of social work at Auburn University, the project used the plays as inspiration, facilitators lead community town halls about current issues in our region. Guest panelists include local elected officials, school board members, students, thought leaders, community members, and artists. Select Saturdays, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.
