There’s something magical about live theater under the stars, and every summer, Shakespeare Festival St. Louis transforms Forest Park into one of the city’s most beloved traditions.

In Episode 43, I sit down with Tom Ridgely to talk about Shakespeare in the Park, the free outdoor theater experience that has become a summer staple in St. Louis. We discuss this season’s production, the work that goes into bringing these performances to life, and why accessible arts programming matters so much to the community.

Tom also shares how Shakespeare Festival St. Louis continues to evolve, connect with new audiences, and create memorable experiences that bring thousands of people together year after year.
