2026 Shakespeare in the Park

Join us ON the Town Park Stage for one of our town’s most beloved traditions: Telluride Theatre's 36th Annual SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK! Action, humor & romance abound in Shakespeare's iconic war drama.

HENRY V, the young and newly crowned king, is impatient to assert control over the people of England. Having received a humiliating gift from overseas, his bruised ego leads him to double down on a military invasion abroad in a bid to expand his green and pleasant land. But at what devastating cost? Witness Henry’s bombastic pursuit of power... "The game's afoot!"

WHAT TO KNOW:

- We are so lucky for our cool Telluride nights; please bring layers, coats, blankets to keep warm. 

- The audience is seated ON town park stage, UNDER the roof, so the show will go on, even if it is raining. 

- No need to bring your own chairs, we have seating provided for everyone.
