What an incredible way to round out 2021 – 10,000 audience members, 42 performances, 26 artists, 2 new plays and 1 more year of “Free Will!”

After two seasons of the pandemic, we had no idea what this year would bring and are so thankful for each and every person that supported us along the way.

Can you believe next year is our 47th year of free Shakespeare??

We’re so excited to be planning next summer back at our home on the Hill with our mainstage productions of ‘As You Like It’ and ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’

In addition to our regular season, we’re pleased to announce the addition of our new, touring Shakespeare troupe. We loved seeing so many new and familiar faces this year, that we’ll be playing to over 20 parks across Western New York in summer of 2022!

As 2021 comes to a close, we want to once again thank you for making Shakespeare in Delaware Park one of Buffalo’s longest running and most beloved traditions.

Please consider keeping the magic of Shakespeare alive through a year-end financial gift. Your generous support ensures this tradition stays alive for years to come!

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
Lisa Ludwig
Executive Director

P.S. Did you know it will take a year of planning, months of rehearsals, weeks to construct the mainstage, over 100 theatre artists, and 4 full-time staff members to produce our shows in 2022? Your generous support helps offset production costs, bringing the highest quality, free Shakespeare to over 40,000 people each year. We couldn’t do it without you!
