✨It’s the moment you have all been waiting for! ✨

We are so excited to share our 2026 Shakespeare In The Park Tour Calendar with you all! In classic Fools fashion, shows will run Monday - Saturday for 7 weeks, in various parks around the city. 💐

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a tale of love, magic, and mischief. The story follows four young lovers who flee into the woods, where they encounter a feuding fairy king and queen, a playful fairy named Puck, and a group of well-meaning amateur actors from the village. With a splash of love potion and a lot of confusion, hearts are tangled, identities are mixed up, and nothing goes quite according to plan. 🧚🏻‍♂️

All shows begin at 7pm! ✨

Our Mamma Mia Sing-Along Fundraiser is BACK, and we’re ready to sing the roof off the Mayfair Theatre on June 7! 🎉

Something about our upcoming 2026 Shakespeare in the Park tour is leaving us longing for the Greek islands (…👀 hint hint), so we just had to bring back the most anticipated event of the year. Come sing and dance the afternoon away in your best disco glam, because the winner of ‘Best Dressed’ and ‘Most Spirited’ takes it all and are both walking away with a sweet prize! 🕺🏻✨

Mark your calendars, and get your tickets before they slip through your fingers and you’re left shouting SOS! 🎟️

See you there Fools 🎶
