We are a community-based, charitable organization, that produces and promotes artistic works with a focus on William Shakespeare. Our organization unites seasoned and developing talent and aspires to excel in all aspects of our work. The Shakespeare By The Sea Festival is the longest running outdoor summer theatre event in the St. John’s area and celebrates its 25th season in 2017.
The festival strives to serve the community in two ways:
1. By creating high quality theatre on our province’s unique and rugged landscapes for the enjoyment of locals and tourists alike;
2. By mentoring the company members that make the shows possible.
Over our 25-year history, alumni have gone on to further artistic success here in our province and at places like the Stratford Festival, as well as to serve the community in many capacities beyond the arts. The rigorous artistic process we lead each summer sets alumni up for success in many walks of life.
