Still timeless. Still ticketless. Still admission-free. Always magical.

2024 PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE & LOCATIONS

Our 27th season has concluded. This year’s schedule was filled with both returning favorites and new locations! Our productions of Cardenio and Henry IV filled 16 beautiful parks in Los Angeles and Orange County with laughter, wonder, and applause, reminding us that Shakespeare’s timeless stories still have the power to unite and uplift.

This year’s cities: Long Beach, Rossmoor, Rancho Palos Verdes, Hermosa Beach, Wilmington, Redondo Beach (2 parks), Manhattan Beach, South Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Mission Viejo, Torrance, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Aliso Viejo and San Pedro. 

This season will cost $279,620. With committed tour fees, and government and individual support to date, we have secured 69% of the budget. But we need to raise  $71,000  to make our budget for 2024. Check out how much funding is still needed to support each location and donate to help support the performance in your city! 

Tour Fees and Sponsorships only support a portion of the costs to produce the festival. As it has been since the beginning, the audiences who love what SBTS brings to their neighborhoods truly make the magic happen. You can ensure that we continue to thrive and bring quality Shakespeare to the public through a tax-deductible donation.
