Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival was founded by a group of actors, scholars, and educators who delight in seeing the Bard’s work as originally intended on stage: intimate, dynamic, accessible, and linguistically rich. Every summer, FlagShakes will bring you a new repertory. We choose our plays based on the needs of the community and aim for diversity: indoors, outdoors, family friendly, romantic, lusty, adventurous. Our actors work hard on text, so you don’t have to. You can expect to follow every story from beginning to end while still enjoying the rich rhetoric of Shakespeare’s beautiful language.
