Shakespeare in the Park New, Temporary Location: The Dell at the top of the Old Zoo
Due to construction at our regular site (yay! the new, permanent stage is being built!), performances will be at the charming, pastoral dell in an area of Griffith Park you know and love.
It’s still in the Old Zoo, just a bit farther up the hill, and you’ll park in the same place.
This beautiful, temporary location allows us the opportunity create a site-specific performance, using the trees, rocks, and natural beauty of the park to conjure up Prospero’s island.
Shakespeare in the Park Reservation Required for 2021
Due to COVID seating restrictions and the dell being a smaller site, you’ll get to pick your spot beforehand.
