The Festival begins June 24. We can't wait to spend our summer nights with you!
Coriolanus (June 24 - July 26) & The Comedy of Errors (August 5 - September 6)

You make what we do in the park more than a premier festival of wildly creative classical plays. Since we’ve started, over half a million Angelenos like you have fueled the spark into a vital cultural tradition—one that remains entirely free to all. Every summer, audiences gather in nature to disconnect from the noise, traffic, and screens and immerse themselves in timeless stories that remind us of what it means to be human with all its faults and charms. In the park, picnics are unpacked, laughter lifts through the air, and memories are made.

Your love for this free tradition has kept audiences growing, driving us into bigger and better spaces. This summer, we’ll be back for one more season in-the-round, as we pop up in the charming Dell at the Old Zoo, while the finishing touches are made on the permanent stage. You'll be able to peep over the hill and see the progress of our future home in Griffith Park.

We’re thrilled to welcome you back this summer with a raucous, music-filled Comedy of Errors, and for the first time at the Festival, a brutal and surprisingly witty Coriolanus.

Join us at Griffith Park starting on June 24th and see your support in action!
