SET SHAKESPEARE FREE ALL SUMMER LONG!
With your help, we’ve brought free, classical theater to Los Angeles for fourteen years through the Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival. Every year, we ask for your financial support. This year is no different--in fact,  your generosity is more important than ever.

 

MEET THE 2017 FESTIVAL ACTORS!

We are excited to welcome back some old favorites as well as to introduce you to some new friends!

TBT to Two Gentlemen of Verona with @honeybeemelville as Silvia, Jeff Lee as Eglamour, and a hobby horse. @honeybeemelville will return to Two Gents this summer as producer, but the hobby horse is no longer acting. She's focusing on her development deal at Netflix. Look for "Air Horse One" this fall. #shakespearesetfree #griffithpark #iscla #summeriscoming #netflixandchill
