Summer Shakespeare in the Park 2026 is around the corner
The 26th annual Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival will be on Saturday July 25th and Sunday July 26th at Volunteer Park.
GreenStage will be performing all of our 2026 summer plays at the festival, and this year we’ll be joined by twelve other companies for a total of 13 companies, performing 21 shows on 3 stages over 2 days. And it’s all free.
(We enthusiastically accept donations, though!)
Please check out all the participating 2026 Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival companies’ websites below. And look for the full festival schedule, coming soon.
Then get ready to spend an hour, a day, or even both days enjoying outdoor theater in Seattle’s historic Volunteer Park at the 2026 Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival!
