Ohio Shakespeare Festival

Ohio Shakespeare Festival From Stan Hywet to Greystone, Ohio Shakes performs live professional theatre in Akron's best venues. Don't read Shakespeare--see Shakespeare LIVE.
(216)

The Ohio Shakespeare Festival regards the actors, the script, and the audience as the quintessential elements of the theatre. As a professional theatre company, we are dedicated to articulating the inherently theatrical components of Shakespeare and his fellow playwrights throughout the ages in a manner that enables the collected imaginations of the artists to meet the collective imagination of the audience in a public celebration that transforms the world in which we live.

Wear your Ren Faire or fantasy garb to the July 18 performance of As You Like It, bring a picnic, wander the romantic gardens, shop the small maker's tent, and catch the Greenshow with sword fighting, pub songs, dancing and more.
And *then* Shakespeare under the stars.
Best summer night out in Akron.
