Photo gallery All the world’s a stage — including Allen Centennial Garden
Shakespeare and modern jazz have bloomed in the University of Wisconsin–Madison Allen Centennial Garden this summer along with the lilies, asters and hydrangea. During several Shakespeare in the Garden performances, UW students directed by Bex Schmitt acted out scenes from various Shakespeare plays at different venues in the garden. In addition, the Summer Concerts in the Garden series has featured a wide variety of musical groups.
