Join our 20th Season Celebration in 2024!
11th Week of Will opens with a World Premiere!
“You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves praised.”
Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks brings accessible, high-quality, free Shakespeare to fans of all ages while encouraging the enjoyment and preservation of our natural public places and parks. Each autumn, the company presents one play during four weekend afternoons. Admission is free. Audience members are invited to bring chairs, blankets, picnics, and anything permitted in Pittsburgh city parks. The performances often include an additional pre-show performance and the plays run for about 1.5 hours with no intermission.
