About Us

Celebrating its Fourteenth Season, Baltimore Shakespeare Festival is the region's home for professional classical theatre and exciting educational programs. In 2003, the Festival signed a Small Professional Theatre contract with Actors' Equity to become Baltimore City's third resident professional theatre company.

In addition to presenting exceptional productions outdoors each summer at the Meadow at the Evergreen Museum and Library, the Festival also produces three plays each season at its indoor home at St. Mary's.

The Festival is dedicated to providing educational outreach programs to students throughout Maryland. Our popular artist-in-residence programs place professional actor/educators in middle and high schools and our exciting performance-in-education programs bring our touring productions to schools throughout the state.

The Festival also offers a full complement of classes, such as the Summer Teen Intensive, Actor Combatant Training, and training in auditioning, voice, and the exploration of Shakespearean text at its St. Mary's facility.

Baltimore Shakespeare Festival is proud to be able to "Bring the Bard to Baltimore." We look forward to having you with us this season!

Baltimore Shakespeare Festival is an AEA bonded theatre company.
