Setting the Stage
Exploring a summer of love and ambition
What goes into planning a season at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival? Quite a bit. Find out more from those who have first-hand knowledge.
In Focus
Back to school with ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’
The festival's 2018 season kicks off with a lighthearted homage to its academic surroundings in a play about a king and three of his noblemen who make a pact to sequester themselves, concentrate only on learning and swear off love.
Rodney Lizcano to play the villain
Colorado Shakespeare Festival favorite Rodney Lizcano will soon have something in common with great actors Ian McKellen, Laurence Olivier, Kenneth Branagh and Benedict Cumberbatch: having played the role of Richard III.
Cyrano de Bergerac is the hero we need right now
Like a mashup of “Romeo and Juliet,” “The Three Musketeers” and “The Princess Bride,” “Cyrano” is a big, bold, romantic adventure boasting swoon-worthy overtures, clever wordplay and thrilling swordplay.
