The Illinois Shakespeare Festival is a professional repertory theatre in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. The Festival originated in 1978 as a joint enterprise of the Illinois State University Department of Theatre and the College of Fine Arts, in cooperation with the Illinois State University Foundation (a not-for-profit enterprise). Productions are performed in an open-air, Elizabethan-style theatre constructed on the grounds of the Ewing Cultural Center in Bloomington, Illinois.

Tickets are on sale now. For tickets or more information, visit thefestival.org or call 309-438-2535

We welcome Shakespeare novices and enthusiasts alike to our own ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ at the Theatre at Ewing.

Make it an evening and join us for Green Shows, Madrigal singers, and a picnic on the newly renovated Genevieve Green Gardens. Bask in the beauty of nature on a summer’s eve with good friends, good food, and good wine.
