Shakespeare under the stars! Weekend evening and matinee performances from July through September are presented. Award-winning Shakespeare plays and family classics in a beautiful and accessible outdoor theater make this a truly enjoyable experience.

The original Marin Shakespeare Festival, founded by John and Ann Brebner, produced outdoor Shakespearean theatre at the Ross Art and Garden Center for 6 seasons from 1961 to 1967. That year the Forest Meadows amphitheatre was built for the Shakespeare Festival where it remained until 1973. In 2001 Marin Shakespeare Company will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of California's first outdoor Shakespeare festival.
