Program accomplishments

  • Free Shakespeare in the Park: Professional productions of Shakespeares works presented at no cost in neighborhood parks. The program generally serves up to 30,000 people through performances in San Francisco, Cupertino, and Redwood City (pre-pandemic, the company also performed in Pleasanton.) In 2024, the company performed The Tempest in person. In 2023, the company performed Cymbeline in person and made a recording available. In 2022, the company performed Much Ado About Nothing in person, and made a recording available. Due to the pandemic in 2020, the company innovated the Unified Virtual Space method and presented live performances of King Lear virtually via Youtube, successfully pivoting the program to Free Shakespeare at Home. In 2021, the company presented an episodic hybrid version of the Play On translation of Pericles Prince of Tyre, with episodes 1, 2 and 3 performed virtually, both live and recorded, and episode 4 performed in person with a recording available.
