The Colorado Shakespeare Festival has announced its lineup for the 2025 season which will begin on June 7 and continue through Aug. 10.

The Colorado Shakespeare Festival, run by CU Presents at the University of Colorado Boulder, celebrates the works of William Shakespeare and other classic playwrights through world-class performances. Founded in 1958, the festival attracts thousands of attendees each year, making it one of the premier destinations for Shakespeare enthusiasts worldwide.

This season features two plays by William Shakespeare: “The Tempest” and “Richard II,” as well as two original performances of Christopher Marlowe’s “Doctor Faustus.” The 2025 Colorado Shakespeare Festival season will again feature “double-header Sundays,” when patrons can see two different shows in the same theater on the same day.

Season tickets are available now by visiting coloradoshakes.org or calling 303-492-8008. On weekdays, season tickets are also available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the CU Presents Box Office, 972 Broadway.

Single tickets will be available beginning Dec. 2. Ticket availability will be limited due to the smaller theater capacity.

Extensive renovations of the Hellems Building, which encloses the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre, will continue until late 2025. During this time, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival will present its productions in the newly refurbished Roe Green Theatre in the University Theatre Building on Pleasant Street. The festival anticipates returning to the Mary Rippon Theatre in 2026 for a full season celebrating the venue’s stunning transformation.
