The Colorado Shakespeare Gardens (CSG) invites all who love Shakespeare’s work to extend their experience from the sight and sounds of the stage to the scent and sweet beauty of his gardens. For a virtual tour and more visit the Colorado Shakespeare Gardens website.
Spend some time before taking your seat in the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre and visit the courtyard between the Hellems and Education buildings. Here, a passionately committed team of volunteers cultivates and tends to gardens dedicated to the plants that Shakespeare knew and memorably referenced in his plays—from a towering specimen of Rosa alba x alba, the White Rose of York, to the ancient Rosa gallica officianalis, the Red Rose of Lancaster.
“Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.” —Henry IV, Part I
At the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, your safety and security remain a top priority. In light of the ongoing fight against COVID-19, we’re enacting new and enhanced health protocols onsite. These changes include distanced seating, contactless ticketing options, required masks and more. Of course, as we approach the festival’s opening, the policies may change based on up-to-date recommendations from campus and local health authorities; we will provide details as they become available.
