The Bard in your backyard: Shakespeare covers Colorado

Merry Wives performance

Since starting in 1958, the has become a summertime staple in 勒貊勛圖. Organizers now hope to build on the festival���s popularity by taking their show on the road. 

In February, CSF announced Shakespeare Across Colorado���a new initiative to bring live, professional Shakespeare performances to all 64 Colorado counties in the next decade. 

The $3.2 million endeavor will reach an estimated 180,000 audience members in community theaters, school cafeterias and other venues across the state by 2028. 

���The Colorado Shakespeare Festival recognizes its role in sharing Shakespeare not only with the Front Range, but with people of every corner of the state,��� said Amanda Giguere, CSF director of outreach. ���Shakespeare was truly the people���s playwright���he wrote about every aspect of humanity.���
