Flagstaff is famous for its mountain views, starry skies, and vibrant downtown. But beyond the hiking trails and breweries, this city has a thriving cultural scene. If you’re planning your list of things to do in Flagstaff, don’t miss the chance to experience live theatre with Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival (FlagShakes).
We’re more than just plays—we’re part of the heartbeat of performing arts in Flagstaff, and our shows have become a tradition for both locals and visitors.
Shakespeare in Flagstaff: World-Class Theatre in the Mountains
There’s nothing quite like watching Shakespeare in Flagstaff. At 7,000 feet, under the stars or in an intimate venue downtown, the Bard’s timeless stories take on new life.
Every summer season, we bring audiences classics like Julius Caesar, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Merry Wives of Windsor—performed with energy, live music, and actor-driven storytelling. Our productions prove that Shakespeare in Flagstaff can be just as exciting as anywhere else in the world.
Year-Round Flagstaff Theatre for Everyone
Our work doesn’t stop with summer repertory. Throughout the year, you’ll find:
- Downtown Flagstaff Performances: At Beaver Street Theatre, our 75-seat space, we present intimate plays, cabarets, and new works.
- Outdoor Summer Performances: Each year, audiences gather under the stars for unforgettable open-air productions at Flagstaff landmarks. Our outdoor shows capture the magic of summer in Northern Arizona while bringing Shakespeare in Flagstaff to life the way it was meant to be seen—in the open air.
