Student Shakespeare Festival

Student Shakespeare Festival

The 16th annual festival will be live-streamed at 11 am on Saturday, April 24, 2021!

The San Diego Student Shakespeare Festival is produced by the San Diego Shakespeare Society in association with Write Out Loud.

Please head here for ALL the information you’ll need and to sign up!


Hundreds of students from K-12 representing San Diego City and County schools, perform 10-minute scenes, sonnets, music,and/or dance from Shakespeare’s plays. Truly a sight to behold and enjoyed by hundreds of spectators and proud family members! The Student Shakespeare Festival has been held in beautiful Balboa Park.

“O, how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day;
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun…”

The Two Gentlemen of Verona (I, iii, 84-87)

We hold workshops for teachers and students to help them prepare for their festival performances:
