THE OFFICIAL SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN

Dear Friend of the Festival

​

It has been 30 years and we are celebrating. We are immensely proud of being the Official Shakespeare Festival of the State of Michigan. After three decades of bringing audiences world class productions, we have a lot to celebrate. 

 

Despite the challenges of a difficult economy, we are excited to bring you the 2026 MainStage Season including the hotly anticipated Richard III, Much Ado About Nothing, and Robert Kauzlaric's adaptation of George Farquhar's The Beaux' Stratagem: A Comedy of Bad Manners. 

 

The Michigan Shakespeare Festival’s mission is to inspire and entertain diverse audiences with evocative, interesting, and epic productions of classical theatre’s greatest plays. 

 

The fact that you are reading this means you already know about the Festival. We are hoping that getting to know us better will inspire you to support us going forward. Advance tickets in our holiday sale are available now. When you order, please consider adding a donation. 

 

Happy Holidays,



The MSF Board
