The Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival brings engaging and theatrical Shakespearian experiences to the community of Victoria, British Columbia. Since 1991, the GVSF has created opportunities for local artists and has involved local businesses, educators and citizens to celebrate the theatrical arts in our community. From 2005 through 2019, the GVSF performed outdoors on the beautiful grounds of Camosun College’s Lansdowne Campus. From 2022 through 2023, we performed at the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, and the Esquimalt Gorge Park as part of our Bard Across the Bridge initiative. We are now happily located at the stunning Craigdarroch Castle and at Lampson School in Esquimalt.

Anywhere we perform, we invite audience members of diverse ages, cultures, and economic backgrounds to be inspired every summer by the immortal words of Shakespeare under the stars.
