San Francisco Shakespeare Festival’s mission is to make the words and themes of Shakespeare accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, financial status or level of education. By lowering practical and perceptual barriers, we encourage broad participation in the arts and make these activities a part of community life.
The Festival serves as a catalyst for audience development by reaching thousands of people who otherwise do not attend live theater or may have never experienced it at all. Our programming represents the plays in their finest light, demonstrates their relevance to today’s society, and inspires our students and audiences to seek out additional theatrical experiences.
We are dedicated to arts education, using our programs to foster a life-long appreciation of learning and the arts. We offer day camps and classes for children age 7 to 17, as well as in-school residencies and playshops.
2024’s Shakespeare on Tour brings a one-hour version of As You Like It to schools and public venues across California. Included are curriculum materials for educators. Optional playshops also available for students. Limited dates available.

Thank you to all who made the SF Shakes 2024 ‘All the World’s a Stage Gala’ a resounding success! Over $90,000 was raised to support Festival programs.
Guests enjoyed an array of Italian delicacies, exclusive wines by the pioneering Napa winery, Freemark Abbey as well as ‘Arden Ambrosia’ and ‘Forest Fizz’ signature cocktails, emphasizing the theme of “All the World’s a Stage”, the famous quote from 'As You Like It', which was performed that night by Shakespeare on Tour.
Additionally, the troupe performed an impromptu rendition of Alan Coyne’s composition about the trials and rewards of tour life! ow.ly/6bvG50RrlOv
