World-class Theatre,  Right Next Door!

Welcome to the 2011 Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival, where we bring together top professionals from around the world, talented students from national universities, and members of our own community to offer you many wonderful ways to enjoy the summer!

We’ve selected a number of plays and events for your entertainment that celebrate love and laughter, intellect and intrigue. This year’s line-up includes The Merchant of Venice on the Mainstage and the Young Company production of As You Like It.

Every year since 2000, friends and neighbors from all across Michiana have enjoyed this grand tradition, now one of the most popular summer events in the area. Whether this will be your first time at the festival or your 12th, we invite you to experience the comedy and drama that is Shakespeare—and bring your family with you to share in the fun!

In fact, why don't you make Shakespeare at Notre Dame part of your online family?
