South Bay’s Shakespeare by the Sea is Back for 2025
Shakespeare by the Sea is a beloved nonprofit theatre company founded in 1998 that brings free, ticketless performances of the Bard’s classics to parks across Southern California.
What began as intimate productions in the South Bay has blossomed into a seven-week summer tour, visiting Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, and more with guaranteed free admission: no tickets, no fees. This summer will be their 28th season touring with live productions of Julius Caesar and As You Like It.
Shakespeare By the Sea is a great summer activity for all ages, packed with laughter, drama, romance, and alfresco ambiance. Just bring a blanket or low-back chairs and enjoy top-quality theatre under the stars.
