Clowns Reading SHakespeare
Summer 2025
We are thrilled to bring Clowns Reading Shakespeare back for a full production with the support of Animating Toronto Parks 2025!
60 minutes, suitable for all ages!
What can clowns teach us about the themes of love, power, fate, free will, and ambition? Laugh along with our clowns as they work together to explore three of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies - Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, and Hamlet (to the best of their ability)!
This show is produced with the support of the City of Toronto through the Animating Toronto Parks program & Arts in the Park program, with funding made possible by the Toronto Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Foundation. This show is also supported by the Richmond Hill Public Library, Community Centre 55, Bard in the Park, and Ovation! Performing Arts Academy.
These are outdoor events, so please bring your own outdoor seating/blankets. We will have a limited number of cushions available on site, and benches reserved for accessible seating.
