Following the hugely successful 35th Anniversary season, the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival is honored to announce its expansion of offerings with THREE full productions at low or no cost to the community. Continuing last season’s seemingly contrary schedule of a “spring-themed” play in winter, and The Winter’s Tale in summer, we are excited to present the tragic “romance” of Romeo & Juliet this October, and a special “bloody” Valentine’s treat of Macbeth in February. We round out the season with our mainstage production of the original Falstaff: Shakespeare’s Greatest Invention in July 2026.

The Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival offers this expanded season thanks to long-time partners Palm Beach Atlantic University (Romeo & Juliet), The Village of Royal Palm Beach (Macbeth), and Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation (Falstaff). Additionally, thanks to our mainstage season presenting sponsors, Gary & Katherine Parr, we are officially launching the in-school Sharing Shakespeare program with our February production of Macbeth, and presenting Romeo & Juliet at the Kravis Center as part of their  S*T*A*R (Students & Teachers Arts Resources) Series. We are grateful to everyone for helping us reach this goal of bringing the importance and relevance of Shakespeare’s work to our entire community, and we look forward to seeing you at one (or all!) of our free productions this season.
