Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Professional theatre company at University of Colorado Boulder, United States.
The Colorado Shakespeare Festival is a professional theatre company at the University of Colorado Boulder that stages classical plays. Productions take place in two venues: an outdoor theatre and an indoor hall, where classic works come to life on stage.
The festival was established in 1958 and grew from early university performances staged under trees on campus. This foundation connected academic collaboration with professional theatre and evolved over many decades.
The festival creates modern interpretations of classical works, showing how these texts speak to audiences today. Visitors experience how stories from centuries ago connect with contemporary life and concerns.
Performances occur primarily during summer months, so advance ticket reservations are recommended. The outdoor theatre provides a different experience than the covered venue, so checking which location suits your preferences is helpful.
Graduate students play active roles working directly with professional production teams in positions of responsibility. This blend of academic training and professional practice creates an environment where emerging theatre artists develop alongside seasoned professionals.
