Forest Park Arts Alliance

Free Shakespeare in the Park

Help Bring Free Shakespeare to Forest Park This Summer!

Every summer, something magical happens under the stars in Forest Park. Families unfold their lawn chairs, neighbors gather with picnic blankets, and actors take the stage at The Grove at Altenheim to bring timeless Shakespearean stories to life—entirely for free.

This is the heart of Forest Theatre Company, a nonprofit arts organization affiliated with the Arts Alliance Forest Park, and founded to make professional, classical theater accessible to all. Each year, our free Shakespeare in the Park performances draw hundreds from across the community, sparking laughter, reflection, and joy. But we can’t do it alone.

We need your help to make our 5th annual production—The Two Noble Kinsmen—a reality.

Your donation helps us pay actors, design stunning sets and costumes, provide free programming for all ages, and keep this beloved community tradition alive and thriving. Whether it’s $5 or $500, every gift ensures that the arts remain vibrant and open to everyone in Forest Park and beyond.

Join us in keeping Shakespeare free, local, and alive. Let’s raise the curtain together this summer!
