Thank you for your support of the 2026 Lakeside Shakespeare Festival. We set out with a big mission last summer when we announced that The World's a Stage was taking on the production of the Lakeside Shakespeare Festival: we would return the project to a two-week, two-show event. This year our team of volunteers worked to raise the $90,000 festival budget, our community stepped forward to support the work, our team of Chicago artists put two great shows together, and when it all came together this summer on Tank Hill I think you'll agree that there was magic in the air.

At the end of our season we disassemble the stage, pack up our bags, and return our little glade in the woods to the deer and foxes. We’re feeling so grateful for the new laughs, tears, and community shared in this special space this year. Please help us make your experience even better in the future & give us your feedback in our post-show survey: https://us15.list-manage.com/survey?u=4698f83fd55f5ecf67ec152e7&id=bab66ddc6f&attribution=false

Theater education is truly something special. These talented kiddos are performing their original musical “The Trouble With The Thompson Triplets” tonight at 6pm at The Garden Theater!

This special project was made possible through the Jewell Arts Program, a private art foundation dedicated to promoting all of the arts for students, & by the J. Bernard Foundation. We are so grateful to be doing this work with their support. Thank you also to our hosts at The Garden Theater, we are so lucky to have you in Benzie!

Join us for the FREE performance of The Trouble with the Thompson Triplets, an original musical by Frankfort Elementary students, with help from Teacher Leo & Teacher Tim! For the past couple months, our young cast has been meeting after school on Thursdays to create this musical out of thin air! They dreamed up the characters, the story, and even helped write the script and songs. And now, they get to share it with all of YOU! Family, friends, and community members are all welcome to join us June 4th at The Garden Theater. The show starts at 6:00pm sharp, so make sure to arrive early to grab your seats!

About the Play: Tilly, Trinity, & Tess are having the ultimate birthday party the beach. There are piles of presents. There’s a huge cake and tons of ice cream. There’s even a band!! But even though they have so many wonderful things, the triplets aren’t grateful for what they have. When an argument leads to a disaster, Tilly, Trinity, and Tess find themselves whisked away from the party — and into a mysterious place where they’ll discover what really means the most to them.

The Ides of March have come and gone, and now
I stand upon a mountain of delight.
If there amongst our revels walkèd thou,
I thank thee for thy presence yesternight.
For every person — come from far or near —
A partner was in this festivity,
And ev’ry one doth hold a place most dear
In both my heart and our community.
But as the day is done, my musings turn
From present joy to future plans and plots —
And so, in hope to better grow and learn,
I ask most humbly: wilt thou share thy thoughts?
O, if thou would’st our little survey take,
My heart would fuller be than our blue lake.
