A Little Bit of History

The Orlando Shakes as you can guess is inspired by William Shakespeare, known as one of the best writers of all time. Although he wrote many famous pieces, he is perhaps best known for the classic Romeo & Juliet. Known as a poet, playwright, and even an actor it is easy to see why he is such an inspiration for the Orlando Shakes. The theatre was founded in 1989, in partnership with the University of Central Florida. Today the theatre offers a variety of classic, contemporary, and children's plays. There really is something for residents and visitors of all ages!

Among its most notable productions are 2016's West Side Story, 2015's Monty Python's SPAMALOT, and Peter and the Starcatcher.
