It is full steam ahead to a summer of passion and intention.
It will be a reduced season.
It will be a different tour.
But it will remain deeply, unmistakably SBTS.

This year we will produce one focused, high-impact play for a four-week tour that will continue bringing admission-free Shakespeare to communities across Southern California.

 Shakespeare by the Sea (SBTS is a nonprofit theatre company founded in 1998 with the mission of making Shakespeare accessible to all).  What began as a small season of nine free performances in a South Bay park has grown into a beloved summer tradition, now offering a 4-week repertory season that tours venues throughout Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties. Our Free Summer Festival brings together a diverse audience- of all ages, backgrounds, and income levels- and remains the only annual, admission-free theatrical event serving the entire South Bay, LA, and parts of Orange and Ventura Counties. As the only West Coast Shakespeare company to tour in this way, SBTS is proud to share the magic of live theatre with communities across the region.
