Free Shakespeare Festival in Griffith Park!

Pack up your picnic basket, shake out your blanket and grab your friends & family by the hand. The Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival returns for an ENTIRE summer of free theater under the stars!

Knight of the Burning Pestle by Francis Beaumont, directed by Melissa Chalsma, is a rarely performed comedy written by a friend of Shakespeare. Perfect for family audiences, the play is a wild joyride and a love letter to theatrical invention.

William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, directed by David Melville, will transport you to an eerie world where characters appear from behind trees, magic is happening in the woods, and nothing is but what is not.
