Still ticketless. Still admission-free. Always magical.

Our 27th season has concluded 

Our 2024 season has now concluded. We toured Cardenio & Henry IV to 16 locations this summer- and as always, all performances were admission-free!  Stay tuned for post-season wrap-up information! 

We’re already working on our 2025 season…announcement coming in January!  

Big Fish Make Waves!

Donate to help us close the funding gap in our season

 
The reality is that admission-free Shakespeare is far from free to produce. Every summer, we say that it’s our Big Fish family of donors who truly make the magic happen, and it’s absolutely true.  Your donations directly contribute to our ability to present this program, making a real difference in people’s lives. Our Big Fish donors create waves of needed support. Please consider donating to help us bridge our funding gap and keep SBTS admission-free. Our season has concluded and cost $279,620. With committed tour fees, and government and individual support to date, we have secured 69% of the budget. But we have a long way to go. We need to raise  $79,513  to make our budget for this past season. Check out how much funding is still needed to support each location and donate to help support the performance in your city!

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
