For $10, today's deal gets you a general-admission ticket to Romeo and Juliet presented by Tennessee Shakespeare Company at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens (a $23 value). Choose from two performances:

• Saturday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m.
• Sunday, May 1 at 7 p.m.

Tennessee Shakespeare Company revives Elizabethan dramatic literature for the mid-South through seasonal indoor and outdoor performances of the Bard's many masterpieces. Directed by Seattle Shakespeare Company's seasoned Artistic Director Stephanie Shine, Romeo and Juliet is a site-specific foray tailored to the beauty of the various lush nooks and crannies within the Dixon Gardens. The production immerses viewers in the torn world of Verona as theatrical travelers are swept along by the inexorable pull of doomed love and deep-seated grudgery. The play also has some very quotable dialogue, such as "Get thee to a chopper!" and "Noooooo!"
