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

2023 PERFORMANCE LOCATIONS

This year we performed at 14 locations throughout LA in Orange County and all of our performances were admission-free!

We still need your help! 

We need to raise $51,407 to make our budget for this season. 

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. 

2023 PERFORMANCE LOCATIONS

This year we performed at 14 locations throughout LA in Orange County! From a bandshell stage at the Port of Los Angeles, beachy enclaves along the coast, foothill communities in the San Gabriel Mountains, and multiple regions of Orange County.  These two productions covered a breadth of neighborhoods from June 22 – August 5, 2023 bringing Shakespeare’s stories to residents and visitors who enjoy storytelling under the stars. 

All of our performances are admission-free! No reservations or tickets are required.
