Shakespeare in Clark Park

Risk-taking interpretations of the English language’s greatest plays.
Stellar work from Philadelphia’s most innovative theatre artists.
A blanket, a picnic, a community event under the stars and the trees.

Shakespeare in Clark Park brings free productions of Shakespeare's plays to one of Philadelphia's most beautiful parks. Founded in 2005, SCP re-imagines the world of the park through the works of Shakespeare, inviting the community to spend a summer evening outside with the Bard.

Our core commitment as an organization is that our Shakespeare in the park will never charge admission. We believe that public art is important, and that everyone in the Philadelphia community should have the chance to see professional theatre free of charge.

The only way we can do this is with your support! 

Shakespeare in Clark Park is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
