It is the only annual admission free theatrical event that serves the entire South Bay, LA, and parts of Orange and Ventura Counties and we are only Shakespeare company on the West Coast that travels to over 20 communities with its programming.

Celebrating the 18th Season, – Shakespeare By The Sea Summer Festival was launched in 1998. Partnerships with local city organizations enabled the festival to offer the performances for free. The first season was tremendously successful – over 3,000 people attended the nine performances at what was then an unused facility in the park.

Since then, Shakespeare By The Sea (SBTS) has blossomed. We now present a repertory season that runs for 10 weeks – Across venues throughout LA, Orange and Ventura Counties.
