Shakespeare Festival Team & Cast

Many of the actors you see on-stage are professionals, as is also the case for "behind stage" crew: directors, set designers, costumers, lighting and more.

Check out our bios page to learn more about all the people who make the magic happen - you may have seen them already in another venue in the Central Coast, and we hope that many will become nationally known as well.

William Shakespeare’s
Love's Labour's Lost:

Quadruple your pleasure – Quadruple your fun!

In this delightful romantic comedy, Shakespeare gives us not one, not two, but four young couples, proving once again that the heart is more powerful than the mind.

Add a lusty country wench, a flirtatious and ‘fantastical Spaniard’, and a few Russian dancers, you’ve got one of the Bard’s most romantic and hilarious comedies.

A surprise ending completes this tale of love, loss and hope.
