Performance
The Shakespeare By The Sea Festival is the longest running outdoor summer theatre event in the St. John's area, celebrating over 25 years of theatre production with a focus on William Shakespeare. In 2019, for the first time, you can join us at the Fortis Courtyard and Amphitheatre for Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. In this, one of Shakespeare's most enduring comedies, hilarity ensues when two sets of identical twins, separated as infants in a sea storm, turn up years later in the same town on the same day. The multiple instances of mistaken identity create confusion between master and servant and lead to hilarious complications on the domestic front. It all concludes in a blissful family reunion. You won't want to miss this most farcical of Shakespearean comedies. Please note: In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved inside to The Rooms 3rd Floor atrium or the theatre. The Comedy of Errors runs Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 PM from July 6th to August 11th and is directed by SBTS Festival Artistic Director, Paul Rowe.
Events & Programs
Reimagining the classic bedtime story, Matthew-Robin Nye explores how spaces of imagination can transcend categories like child and adult, inviting reflection on how we learn, feel, and connect to artwork across generations.
Through this work, he asks what it means to build environments that are open, attentive, and alive to shared experience—places where visitors can simply be, and where curiosity and presence unfold at their own rhythm.
This is a free program but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or call 709-757-8090.
