We're raising $100,000 by June 10 to give Los Angeles Shakespeare all summer long!

Celebrate 15 years of free Shakespeare for Los Angeles! We didn't imagine back in 2004 that our small production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona would grow into a Los Angeles summer tradition! (Seriously, we were just trying to figure out how to light a play with halogen work lights we bought at Home Depot.) But here we are 15 terrific years later, and we couldn't have done it without you! Contribute now to keep setting Shakespeare free in Los Angeles!

Meet the 2018 Actors!
