About CSF

For 70 seasons, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has delighted audiences with classic theatre under the stars.

The Colorado Shakespeare Festival is a professional theatre company in association with the University of Colorado Boulder. Since 1958, the festival has celebrated and explored Shakespeare and his continuing influence and vitality through productions of superior artistic quality, education and community engagement.

CSF strives to preserve the classics of the past and pursue the classics of the future. Fueled by artistry and scholarship, the festival seeks to expand the region's cultural richness by inspiring, challenging and cultivating the imagination of audiences and artists.

Plays are performed beneath summer night skies in the historic, newly renovated Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre and in the comfortable indoor Roe Green Theatre.

The festival’s education programs reach tens of thousands of schoolchildren each year through camps, classes and outreach performances that connect them with the continuing tradition and importance of Shakespeare.
