Still timeless. Still ticketless. Still admission-free. Always magical.
2023 PERFORMANCE LOCATIONS
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 will cover 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.
San Pedro Opening/ Rancho Palos Verdes/ Hermosa Beach/ Long Beach/ Rossmoor/ Mission Viejo/ Manhattan Beach/ Santa Ana/ South Pasadena #1/ Beverly Hills/ Encino/ South Pasadena #2 / Torrance/ Cerritos/ Aliso Viejo/ San Pedro Finale
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.
