Richmond Shakespeare Festival (Indiana)
Mission
The mission of the Richmond Shakespeare Festival organization is to produce and promote an annual Shakespeare festival of the highest quality, including theatrical performances and educational opportunities, based in Richmond, Indiana.
History
The Richmond Shakespeare Festival in Richmond, Indiana was created by a group of enthusiastic volunteers following the 2013 production of The Tempest at Richmond Civic Theatre, produced as a fundraiser to benefit Studio 10, RCT’s studio theatre program. Presented annually, beginning in 2014, it is a community-wide collaboration and celebration, welcoming participants and guests, regionally and nationally.
Coming Up!
The 2020 Festival featuring Richard III and As You Like It, June 19 – July 4. (“Early-Bard” tickets available January 23 – April 23, 2020). Our 7th season will be presented in the historic Starr-Gennett factory building in the beautiful Whitewater Gorge Park.
“This Festival produces some of the highest quality Shakespeare I’ve seen anywhere! Make it a part of your summer travel plans!”
