The Old Globe is thrilled to announce that the popular event Thinking Shakespeare Live!, created and presented by the Globe’s Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein, will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 11 a.m. on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.
Priority seating for Globe subscribers and donors is available now, with sales to the general public beginning on Friday, May 1 at noon, and will be available online at TheOldGlobe.org.
Drawn from Edelstein’s approachable and inviting book "Thinking Shakespeare: A How-To Guide for Student Actors, Directors, and Anyone Else Who Wants to Feel More Comfortable with the Bard, "Thinking Shakespeare Live!" will feature Edelstein, who will be joined by three professional classical actors. Immediately after the event, Edelstein will sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase at the theatre.
This program is an ideal introduction to Shakespeare for families and young audiences, as well as an exciting new look at the playwright for Bardophiles.
