The Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival is back at The MAIN (24266 Main Street) for the rest of July! Join us for productions that honor William Shakespeare while celebrating and promoting local artists.
The Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival aims to engage our community through classic plays, new and reimagined works and original adaptations while bringing an array of opportunities to local artists, performers and craftsmen. The festival kicked off with performances of Unsweet Perdition, an original play by Evan Spreen, presented in collaboration with Fierce & Purple Creative! This original play was described as a 90-minute fever dream that blends dream logic realism, ritualistic poetry and dissolving memories.
Catch Mis Escritos at The MAIN this weekend, from Friday, July 24through Sunday, July 26 as a part of the Latine Fest, presented by the Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival. In addition, Mis Escritos, written by Angel Miguel Lopez and produced in collaboration with CholaVision Productions, explores the intersection between art and life in East Los Angeles.
The Festival concludes with William Shakespeare’s war drama, Coriolanus, running from Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2 at The MAIN. The play follows an arrogant war hero whose pride ultimately leads to him seeking revenge against his homeland. Best of all, admission to Coriolanus is free, making it the perfect opportunity to experience one of Shakespeare’s classic works.
