SHAKESPEARE & COMPANY
Shakespeare & Company not only performs William Shakespeare’s works, but also other classic and contemporary plays of social significance that embrace the core values of his pieces, including collaboration and commitment to language.

Announcing: The First Titles of Season 2026

TWELFTH NIGHT by William Shakespeare (Outdoor Theatre) July 4–26 Directed by Kate Kohler Amory Arthur S. Waldstein Amphitheatre Shipwrecks, disguises, and mistaken identities spark the joyful chaos of Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s most playful romantic comedy. Love runs amok, wit flies, and nothing is quite what it seems in this sun-soaked tale of music and mischief. Performed outdoors July 4–26 at one of Newsweek’s Top 10 Outdoor Theater Venues in the U.S., this summer production invites audiences to relax, laugh, and revel in Shakespeare under the open sky.

CIRCUS & THE BARD, THE NEXT CHAPTER, Co-created by Allyn Burrows, Robin Eldridge & Pedro Reis July 16–26 Tina Packer Playhouse For kids—and the kids in all of us—Circus & the Bard: The Next Chapter bounces back July 16–26! Shakespeare & Company and Spirit of Circus reunite for a playful mash-up of jaw-dropping circus acts and Shakespeare’s beloved characters. When high-flying feats meet the Bard’s words, sparks fly, laughs abound, and something truly magical happens.

SHAKE IT UP THE REMIX, Co-created by Allyn Burrows & Jacob Ming-Trent July 29–August 2 Tina Packer Playhouse The hit that had audiences on their feet returns—revved up and remixed. The Tina Packer Playhouse transforms once more into the Elephant Lounge for Shake It Up: The Remix, an exuberant mash-up of modern music and Shakespeare verse. Come ready to clap, sing, stomp, and dance in the aisles as the players unleash a breathless, rocking revue.

HAMLET by William Shakespeare August 13–30 Directed by Ariel Bock Tina Packer Playhouse Hamlet is Shakespeare’s most searching play—a gripping story of grief, conscience, and the cost of action. Haunted by his father’s ghost, a young prince must navigate a world of secrets, power, and betrayal where nothing is as it appears. By turns thrilling, darkly funny, and deeply human, this August production brings Shakespeare’s language to life with clarity, physicality, and immediacy.
