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.

We will return to the Park this spring for performances of Love's Labor's Lost, set in 1969-70 and celebrating the first Earth Day with lots of music and fun, April 22-24, 2022.

In 2021, we filmed a musical adaptation of Cymbeline called Imogen in the Wild, shot in Merced and Yosemite and released for free on YouTube. The film is part of the worldwide Cymbeline in the Anthropocene project, and sponsored by UC Merced, Yosemite Hospitality, and the National Park Service.
 
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, or this interview with Sofia Andom, star of Imogen in the Wild.
