Island Shakespeare Festival ignites the power of accessible classical theatre to build empathy and connection.

We're a Pay What You Will outdoor rotating repertory company located on Whidbey Island, just north of Seattle, WA. These photos are representative of our past seasons.

We envision community where our differences bring us together in celebration and curiosity. We envision the ripple effect this has toward cultural education and change. We believe theatre is a crucial catalyst toward an empathetic community, where everyone has access and everyone is welcome.
