1. An application and description of the proposed use of the grant funds:
We respectfully request $5,900 to present our third "Prestige Project" at The Cat in Carmel, Indiana
In 2020, with the support of Carmel Arts grants, we initiated the Bard Fest Prestige Project with a
production of Neil Simon's joke filled classic comedy, Plaza Suite followed in 2021 by Edward Albee's
booze fueled classic drama, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
This year, we intend to present a classic among classics, "Lysistrata" a timeless play by Aristophenes.
First presented in 411 BC, Lysistrata is a satiric story of women making us a of the powers of "the
weaker sex" to force the men to end the intra-Greek Peloponnesian War. Avoiding the marriage bed to
get the men's attention, the women bring peace to Greece by pointing out that the warring factions are
from the same country and same heritage, so it is wrong to waste lives and fortune in unending warfare.
The story and the has remained relevant throughout the ages and can be a useful reminder even today

HISTORY
Bard Fest started around 5 1/2 years ago as just an idea. Indianapolis/Carmel is one of the
largest metropolitan areas in the United States, with an abundant interest in theatre across
the region, with over 70 active community theaters. Even with this thriving theatrical
community, Indiana did not have a Shakespeare Festival. Many cities in the country are home
to a Shakespeare Festival —a tradition; a cultural event —some with much smaller populations
and theatrical outlets than Indiana. From this, we saw an opportunity —is there a way we can
take the abundant interest in theatre in the city and channel it into creating an iconic cultural
event —Shakespeare Theatre Festival —for Indiana communities to enjoy and participate?
Thus, Indy Bard Fest was born.
Website: https://www.indybardfest.com
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/indyBardFest/
Theatre Festival Definition: "an organized series of concerts, plays, or movies, typically one
held annually in the same place."
Mission Statement:
Unique companies. Unique shows. Bridging the gap between our city and the Bard with
professional -quality, actor focused, accessible Shakespeare."
Why Shakespeare?
Professor Alan Craven writes, "He is the greatest dramatist the greatest poet and the
greatest prose writer in the history of the language.... He has a presence like Lincoln or
Washington in American history.... The language is rich, the characters are complex and many
of his basic themes — love, treachery, honor, bravery and political intrigue — still resonate
today"
But here is the thing, and this is the only way to make sense of his inventing -the -human, they
have (in part) created us, now. All those great Shakespearean figures have so hugely impacted
on our consciousness of what it means to be human, that they have affected our concept of
ourselves, and therefore shaped us" - The late Harold Bloom on why Shakespeare matters so
much.
Our Vision: Bard Fest is Indy's only annual Shakespeare Festival! Bard Fest Indy was founded by
Indiana -based theatre companies to bring a professional -quality, yet intimate, Shakespeare
festival experience to Hoosier audiences. Through our partnership with The Carmel Theatre
Company, and now, IndyFringe, Bard Fest can not only provide paying work for local area
actors, but also provide unique artistic visions in one intimate and accessible space.
Our model: The program is under the direction of the Carmel Repertory Theatre (the Rep), a
501c3 non-profit corporation. The revenue we collect from ticket sales is used to offset
production costs and pay the actors a stipend for their time and work. Our goal is to pay each
actor a small honorarium to show respect for their time, training, and talent. This token of
appreciation also serves to help Bard Fest recruit the best talent in the city. It is an important
principle that we base our festival on - providing paid work to local actors.
2014 through 2019—Lessons Learned and Sustained Growth: We started in Carmel, Indiana at
Studio 15, a 75-seat theatre —The Rep saw the cultural importance of this type of festival, and
in 2014, together we launched this very ambitious idea. Over three weekends we presented
three productions in rotation twenty-four times! In addition, we offered ancillary acts such as
DocuSign Envelope ID: 15E0B74B-0FAA-491E-A7BC-00BB8A086FBF
improv groups and magic shows, and although we were modestly successful, it was too many
performances for that small of a space.

Although performance opportunities were severely limited in mid-2020, a few friends and
supporters voluntarily provided the time and materials to completely re -shelve and reorganize
our 'Property' storage and to build shelving for our larger furniture, so the pieces are stored
with much improved efficiency and visibility.
We returned to our original home where it all began in Carmel just a few short years ago, to
produce what we have informally termed "The Prestige Project," expanding the cultural
influence of the festival by offering timeless classics, plays that are not Shakespearean but have
had long lasting effects on the theatre and on our understanding of Human Nature.
Our venue expansion will be "The Cat" located in the booming Carmel Arts & Design District.
Furthermore, our parent company, Carmel Repertory Theatre, has assisted in the formation of
The Playwrights Circle in conjunction with The Writers' Center to support local actors with
staged readings and workshops intended to add value and opportunity to the theatrical
community in Central Indiana.
2021 Productions and results
Bard Fest provides accessible, intimate, actor -focused theatre to the Indianapolis area by
curating the only annual Shakespeare festival in the region and producing theatrical content of
the highest possible standard. In partnering with regional theaters, Bard Fest can not only
provide some compensation for local area actors, but also provide unique visions under one
intimate roof. Our emphasis is to become a thriving incubator of local talent by producing
work that makes Shakespeare accessible and approachable to the public, while reexamining
the purpose and portion of classical theater in America. We want to tell great stories. After a
pandemic closed most of the theaters, we came roaring back. Our season included:
Fringe Festival Entry- "Lear's Shadow" by Brian Elderling
The Prestige Project' - Our new classical play product where we presented to great
acclaim Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" at the Cat Theatre in the
beautiful Carmel Arts District
Annual Bard Fest Festival: three Shakespeare classics at three different theaters across
Carmel and Indianapolis
o "Measure for Measure"
o "Antony & Cleopatra"
o "Love's Labour's Lost"
o "Macbeth" (youth program)
And the Regional premiere of "Elizabeth Rex' - The award -winning play by Timothy
Findley
92 actors and stage artists participated: we offered stipends to each to foster their
continued good work for the arts here in central Indiana.
In total, close to 2,000 people attended the festival.
As previously mentioned, our goal is to become a cultural event for the cities of Carmel and
Indianapolis - thus enriching the communities in which we perform. We are proud of our
efforts establishing the only Shakespeare Festival in Indiana, and we hope the city of Carmel
will join our efforts to expand on this important cultural movement. Thank you in advance for
your thoughtful consideration.

We leave you with the following themes that guide our work:
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because
we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So
medicine, law, business, engineering... these are noble pursuits and necessary to
sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love... these are what we stay alive for.
N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
Me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than 1, and who more
faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew'd,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring —What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here —that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

2021 Productions and results
Bard Fest provides accessible, intimate, actor -focused theatre to the Indianapolis area by
curating the onlyannual Shakespeare festival in the region and producing theatrical content of
the highest possible standard. In partnering with regional theaters, Bard Fest can not only
provide some compensation for local area actors, but also provide unique visions under one
intimate roof. Our emphasis is to become a thriving incubator of local talent by producing work
that makes Shakespeare accessible and approachable to the public, while reexamining the
purpose and portion of classical theater in America. We want to tell great stories. After a
pandemic closed most of the theaters, we came roaring back. Our season included:
Fringe Festival Entry - "Lear's Shadow" by Brian Elderling
The Prestige Project' - Our new classical play product where we presented to great
acclaim Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" at the Cat Theatre in the
beautiful Carmel Arts District
Annual Bard Fest Festival: three Shakespeare classics at three different theaters across
Carmel and Indianapolis
o "Measure for Measure"
o "Antony & Cleopatra"
o "Love's Labour's Lost"
o "Macbeth" (youth program)
And the Regional premiere of "Elizabeth Rex" - The award -winning play by Timothy
Findley
92 actors and stage artists participated: we offered stipends to each to foster their
continued good work for the arts here in central Indiana.
In total, close to 2,000 people attended the festival.
