The Colorado Shakespeare Festival is an annual festival held in Boulder that celebrates the works of William Shakespeare and his continuing influence on society. Established in 1958, the festival is run by the University of Colorado Boulder and strives to preserve Shakespeare’s classic works and educate the public on the playwright’s importance and influence. Professional troupes and artists from the Colorado Shakespeare Festival theater company perform Shakespeare’s plays beneath starry summer night skies in the historical Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre, when the weather permits, or in the newly renovated indoor University Theatre.
These artists inspire, challenge and cultivate audiences’ imaginations throughout the festival. Enjoy dinner in the Shakespeare Garden before the show, or stock your own picnic basket and dine al fresco during the show.
