Freewill Shakespeare Festival 630 CHED is proud to present the 20th Anniversary Season of the Freewill Shakespeare Festival at Hawrelak Park Heritage Amphitheatre starting June 23rd thru to July 20th! Come explore the works of William Shakespeare in an outdoor setting as interpreted by an ensemble of Canadian actors, directors and designers.

Whether you’re a Shakespeare nut or a Shakespeare newbie, when you come to the Festival, take a quick glance at the brief synopses provided and you’ll be set to enjoy an amazing performance. General seating is available under the canopy but you can also bring a blanket and watch performances from the grass. Hint: it’s a really romantic date night.
This season’s performances are:
As You Like It – One afternoon, four weddings, family drama that doesn’t involve you, and no need to bring a gift: As You Like It is the perfect antidote to your summer wedding fatigue.
Richard III – Freewill Shakespeare festival’s Richard III is a fantastically complicated journey between complicity and loathing for a character that compels you to see the sense of his action.
Tickets are available at the park, or in advanced by calling Tix on the Square at 420-1757 or online HERE.
Performances take place rain or shine! For more information please click HERE.
