Still ticketless. Still admission-free. Always magical.
Announcing our 28th Season!
Introducing our 28th Season of Admission-Free Shakespeare.
This summer, SBTS will transport audiences from the lush Forest of Arden to the intrigue of Ancient Rome with two of Shakespeare’s most famous plays.
It’s time to raise the funds for the 2025 season!

Accolades for our 27th Season
Cardenio: “Great acting, fun Shakespeare, and it’s free. What are you still doing in the house?” – The Orange Curtain Review. “A clever way to present a lost play to modern audiences and show how stories from hundreds of years ago can still speak to us.” – Stage Raw.
Cardenio won Best Original Orange County Show From Orange Curtain Review
Henry IV: “Truly great performances,” with “Cylan Brown born for the role” – Random Lengths News. His Falstaff is “beautifully rendered, capturing the bigness and braggadocio, the humor and charm” – Stage Raw. “The ensemble is energetic and tight… indicative of the esprit de corps and commitment that has allowed SBTS to exist for 27 years as a nomadic producer of Shakespeare.” – Stage Raw.
We have moved to a new building
We have had to move our operations base as our Little Fish Theatre building is being sold for redevelopment.
We are thrilled to announce that through a partnership with Beach Cities Health District, we will be in residence there for the next three years while we seek a permanent building. BCHD and the City of Redondo Beach have been welcome advocates for our arts programs. We are are so grateful to be able to occupy a vacant suite on the BCHD campus. This partnership will allow us to continue to prepare for our summer festival, offer our year-round programming at Little Fish Theatre, and expand our programs. As arts creators, we know that live theatre and the arts are a vital part of the health and wellness of every community. Both of our organizations believe in promoting a culture of connection by delivering live shared experiences to multi-generational audiences and making a positive impact on our local communities.
Our new address is:
514 N. Prospect Avenue Ste L-1
Redondo Beach, Ca 90277
