About
Silicon Valley Shakespeare Education Programs include Free Shakespeare in the Park, a Summer Repertory, a Winter Show, a summer Shakespeare Camp for kids, workshops, assemblies, after-school programs, an immersive internship program for local high school and college students, and a 48-Hour Play Festival. Free Shakespeare in the Park features a FREE, fast-paced, high-energy production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona that blends Shakespeare’s story with the spirit of the 80s. Every summer, acting trainees are cast in a mainstage show and receive mentoring that includes monologue coaching, resume review, and complimentary professional headshots.
• Schedule: Free Shakespeare in the Park runs June 12–28, 2026, at 7 PM
• Price: Free Shakespeare in the Park is free to the public; Summer Repertory produces two affordably ticketed plays each summer
Silicon Valley Shakespeare Education Programs state that at least 50% of casting for each season represents the BIPOC community and at least 50% of casting for a season represents underrepresented genders. Every other season, one show is entirely dedicated to 100% casting of systemically minoritized groups, and a wide spectrum of physical and personal identities is represented, including age and body type. The mission of Silicon Valley Shakespeare is to invigorate the classics through innovative, relevant theatrical experiences that illuminate and inspire modern audiences, to provide high-quality, affordable theatrical experiences and educational programs to reach a diverse audience, and to build a new generation of theatregoers. The organization provides a summer Shakespeare Camp for kids, workshops, assemblies, and after-school programs to over 2,000 students in local schools, and it presents an annual 48-Hour Play Festival of locally developed new works in partnership with a local college or university. Silicon Valley Shakespeare is supported by volunteers who contribute to set and costume production, fundraising, concession sales, and other tasks.
