Shakespeare Festival
Shakespeare Under the Stars, right here at CU Boulder
For over 60 seasons, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has delighted audiences with classic theatre under the stars.
The Colorado Shakespeare Festival (CSF) is a professional theatre company in association with the University of Colorado Boulder. Since 1958, the festival has celebrated and explored Shakespeare and his continuing influence and vitality through productions of superior artistic quality, education and community engagement.
CSF strives to preserve the classics of the past and pursue the classics of the future. Fueled by artistry and scholarship, the festival seeks to expand the cultural richness of the region by inspiring, challenging and cultivating the imagination of audiences and artists.
Plays are performed beneath summer night skies in the historic CU Boulder Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre and in the newly renovated indoor University Theatre.
The festival’s education programs reach tens of thousands of school children each year through camps, classes and outreach performances that connect them with the continuing tradition and importance of Shakespeare.
