A Message From The Artistic Director

The Shakespeare By The Sea Festival is the longest running outdoor summer theatre event in the St. John's area. From Logy Bay to Cape Spear to Bowring Park, our perseverance in the face of fair weather and foul (both literally and figuratively) has made us a solid fixture in the community. By utilizing a combination of seasoned performers and aspiring talent, we have also provided a unique artistic opportunity in classical theatre, an opportunity otherwise unknown in this region. We are proud to know that it is a challenge to find many members of the St. John's arts community who have not worked with the Festival at one time or another.

Jennifer Deon,
Artistic Director
