GreenStage’s 38th Season of FREE Shakespeare in the Park!

Since 1989 GreenStage has brought free Shakespeare in the park to Seattle area audiences. Our mission is to foster an appreciation for live theater by eliminating geographical and financial barriers that impede access to the arts. Our shows tour to over 20 parks, large and small in and around Seattle. Attending is easy – just show up, grab a spot on the grass and enjoy. No tickets or reservations are required. Our shows are focused on the text, story, and character relationships in Shakespeare’s plays, with a goal of making the plays fun and easy to understand.

On the 2026 mainstage tour we present Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, a romantic tale of renewal, redemption and the transformative power of time, directed by Erin Day. Also on the mainstage, Coriolanus, Rome’s greatest warrior becomes one of her greatest threats in one of Shakespeare’s most political plays, directed by Linda Lombardi. Backyard Bard will be touring abbreviated productions of The Tempest and The Two Noble Kinsmen, directed by Garth Ball. Performances run from July 10 – August 15, 2026. 

The Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival will be held July 25 & 26, 2026. More details about the summer tour will be posted soon!
