About Shakespeare in Yosemite

Shakespeare in Yosemite was founded in 2017 to bring short, accessible, and FREE productions of Shakespeare’s plays to Yosemite National Park for Earth Day and Shakespeare’s birthday each April. Our shows are 90 minutes long, feature lots of music, and are adapted to address issues relevant to Earth Day and Yosemite. Casts are made up of UC Merced students, park rangers and Yosemite employees, and community members. Learn more about our mission, what we have done, and our plans for the future in this recent podcast with Planet Shakespeare, or this interview with Hark Journal, featuring co-founders Katherine Steele Brokaw and Paul Prescott.

After a haitus due to COVID-19 in 2020, we will return this spring!
