Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival
15th Anniversary Season!

Happy Anniversary! To celebrate 15 years of making Shakespeare with you and for you, we've got a summer full of special events & surprises including:

  • 43 performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream & Titus Andronicus
     
  • Special performances by Invertigo Dance Theatre, La Victoria, and other guests
     
  • You can find your inner fairy at Family Fairy Nights
     
  • Don your toga and celebrate the ancient Roman holiday of Vulcanalia at a performance of Titus Andronicus
     
  • Make new friend at an audience potluck
     
  • Enjoy lively pre-show discussions at our Salon Series
     
  • Special anniversary contests and activities all summer long!

Set ISC up for the next 15 years! Here are 2 ways to support our work.

 

 

 

By being a monthly donor, you will provide the core support for our year-round performances and programs that provide equity, access and a really great theater experience! Best of all, monthly contributions maximize the impact of your support, and signals your belief that when we come together through the arts we create a stronger and more connected community.

 

 

 

Ok, so you aren't quite ready to commit to a monthly gift. Or maybe it's just not the right way for you to support ISC. Rest assured, your one time donation is vital to our work!

**Donate $150 or more and we will thank you by reserving you four ISC beach chairs at the performance of your choice (there is a very limited amount of this seating available, so donate early!)

Thank you to Rangers Tom, Joe and Andrei for leading a Salon Series discussion tonight on the history of the Old Zoo. Did you know when Griffith Park first opened it was a mile away from the City of LA? 🤔🌳 And the next time you’re at Disneyland, check out the mural by Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln and you’ll see the Griffith Park carousel! 🎪 #GriffithPark #OldZoo #LACityParkRangers #mydayinla #losangeleshistory
