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! 

Our 28th Season will be announced in January of 2025. 

 

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!

Thank you for all those who attended live performances of
Twelfth Night and Hamlet last summer. Those productions are now available to view online.

Twelfth Night: Love, gender roles and class collide in Shakespeare’s timeless tale of Viola, separated from her twin brother Sebastian, in a shipwreck. Viola washes up on the shore of Illyria, and, in an astute survival plan, she decides to present herself as a page. Now known as Caesario, she is employed by Duke Orsino, who sends her to woo the lady Olivia. When Olivia falls in love with Caesario, Viola finds herself in the middle of a love triangle. Hilarious hijinks ensue when Olivia’s uncle Sir Toby, his mistress Maria, and friend Sir Andrew prank Olivia’s pompous Steward, Malvolio. If music be the food of love, play on! Directed by Patrick Vest.

Hamlet 

A shattered young Hamlet returns to Elsinore to attend his father’s funeral and his mother’s marriage to his uncle. A harrowing encounter with his father’s ghost informs him that something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and Hamlet is propelled down a perilous path of murder, madness and revenge. But when holding the mirror up to nature, who can he trust? Shakespeare’s enduring masterpiece returns to the festival in 2023. Directed by Stephanie Coltrin
