For 30+ years, we bring the classics to life with our Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival and more.

“His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short;
He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes…
…Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,
Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.”
- Richard II

Staging the Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival is a marathon race and a labor of love. 11 months of hard work paid off with a new record for attendance. Thank you all for a wonderful season, and stay tuned for our plans for 2025!
