After two years of a virtual presentation, Write Out Loud in association with The San Diego Shakespeare Society is thrilled to return in person to bring "The Bard" to life with the 17th Annual Student Shakespeare Festival. Attendees will enjoy performances of students from K-12 from throughout San Diego County, presenting scenes and monologues from Shakespeare's plays.
The Festival begins with a parade led by “Shakespeare” himself followed by participating students. Performers will present monologues, sonnets and scenes from Shakespeare’s canon. In preparation for the Festival, in-class workshops were provided to area students on basic poetics and performance skills as well as finishing touches for performances.
Date | Saturday, April 30 at 11 a.m.
Location | Heritage Park
This event is free and open to the public.

Heritage County Park
This charming County park is adjacent to Old Town in San Diego, and features several restored Victorian homes and the city’s first synagogue, The Temple Beth Israel. It is a fine example of the Victorian architecture of wealthy San Diego residents in the late 1880s-1890s. The Temple Beth Israel now hosts weddings, receptions and bar mitzvahs. The large lawn remains open to the public and is available for event reservations. NOTE: With the exception of the Senlis Cottage and Temple Beth Israel, the homes have been restored on the exterior, only, and are not open to the public.
