Events Calendar

Your destination for decidedly untraditional Shakespeare under the stars, all summer long. Canada’s longest-running outdoor theatre event celebrates its 35th year with bold new takes on two Shakespeare classics. Get transported from the enchanted musical shores of Illyria, setting for the madcap comedy of mistaken identity Twelfth Night (or What You Will), to the divided kingdom of King Lear, one of the most monumental works of English drama – re-imagined from a female perspective, and starring award-winning actor Diane D’Aquila.

“You can’t spend a summer in Toronto without stopping by Shakespeare in High Park”
