In our monthly Event Lab series, we're trying out non-musical activities and entertainment to learn what our community likes, loves, and celebrates. You will be able to give instant feedback to our team onsite and via an online survey.
First up, we are partnering with SF Shakes on the eve of Shakespeare's birthday to bring you three popular scenes from the classic Romeo & Juliet; the full production is currently touring California.
ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
We believe that Shakespeare experienced in a communal setting – whether it be outdoors, in a classroom or in a theater – elates the soul, inspires the mind and unifies those who sit beside each other. For the majority of our audiences, we are the first point of contact with Shakespeare and the performing arts. Our programming represents the plays in their finest light, demonstrates their relevance to today’s society, and inspires our students and audiences to seek out additional theatrical experiences. By lowering practical and perceptual barriers, the Festival encourages broad participation in the arts and makes these artistic activities an active part of community life.
The Festival plays a vital role in the Bay Area arts community, serving as a catalyst for audience development by reaching thousands of people who otherwise do not attend live theater or may have never experienced it at all. The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival is dedicated to arts education, using its programs to foster a life-long appreciation of learning and the arts.
The Festival is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to make the words and themes of Shakespeare accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, financial status or level of education.
