Message from Cal Shakes website:

Over the past ten months—in the absence of that shared space— we’ve done a lot of reflection about how to respond to the pandemic and movement for racial equity with compassion and humility. We have thought long and hard about how Cal Shakes might return in meaningful service of a more resilient community. How might we seek to share resources rather than amass them, to cultivate relationships rather than transact them?

With these questions in mind, we’ve chosen to share our beloved Bruns Amphitheater for our 2021 Season of Shared Light. Safety permitting, we will produce one play—The Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare—and will share the space throughout the summer with an array of local arts organizations and community groups like Destiny Arts, Bandaloop, West Edge Opera, and others to be announced soon! We will continue to offer online and in-person programming including Shakespeare In-Depth with Philippa Kelly, our Direct Address series, and other performance and educational opportunities.

Of course, we will continue to monitor the mandates around re-opening to ensure we do so responsibly and thoughtfully when it is allowed. We’ll announce specific dates and ticket information once we have clarity around social distancing guidelines, capacity limitations, and safety protocols for artists and audiences alike. Your wellbeing and that of our artists, staff, and community is our utmost priority.
