Shakespeare Festival St. Louis SHAKE38 Kicks off April 19

William Shakespeare's words will electrify the city with the fourth annual SHAKE38, a wildly successful urban event set for April 19-23.


This year’s SHAKE38 will culminate on the Bard’s 449th birthday and serve as a precursor to Shakespeare Festival St. Louis’ production of “Twelfth Night” the following month, May 24 through June 16, at Shakespeare Glen in Forest Park. The marathon reading/performance of Shakespeare's 38 play-canon is limited only by one's imagination.


New to this year’s line-up will be a series of daily Blind Shakes in which members of the community are invited to a designated location and encouraged to participate in a reading of a play. The script to be read will be distributed on site. For a detailed schedule of SHAKE38 events, please visit www.sfstl.com/whats-on/shake-38/.
