Following two years of record-breaking ticket sales, the 2025 festival will include four plays running in rotating repertory: A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, the musical Into the Woods, by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, Pericles by William Shakespeare and George Wilkins, and “Master Harold” …and the boys by Athol Fugard. The 2025 season theme is “No One is Alone”.
“The four masterpieces we’re producing this season all examine the threads that tie us together,” said Charles Pasternak, Artistic Director of Santa Cruz Shakespeare. “In each of these plays, the world is torn apart – sometimes quite literally – but knitted anew by recognition. Recognition of ourselves in each other, in our need for each other. None of us is an island. We need each other – now more than ever – and through both laughter and heartbreak, this season looks to bring our incredible community closer together.”
The 2025 Festival will also include SCS’s Fringe Series, including two staged readings and
two performances of its apprentice show happening Tuesday nights in August at 7 p.m. Price is pay-what-you-will.
