For over 60 seasons, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has delighted audiences with classic theater under the stars. CSF is a professional theater 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.

The Hellems Building, which houses the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre, is undergoing major renovations that will last until late 2025. During this time, CSF will hold its performances in the newly updated Roe Green Theatre. Once the renovations are finished, CSF plans to return to the Mary Rippon Theatre in 2026 for a full season to celebrate its impressive makeover.
