We’re delighted to share the lineup for our Festival’s 34th Season, which will run from June 8 to September 30, 2023 at Sen̓áḵw/Vanier Park.

Bard’s 2018 blockbuster As You Like It (June 8-September 30), brimming with Beatles hits, is back on the BMO Mainstage after delighting sold-out houses across Western Canada and the USA. It will play in repertory with Shakespeare’s thrilling political drama, Julius Caesar (June 15-24). On the Howard Family Stage, there are two contrasting productions: Henry V (June 28-August 13), the inspiring and timely history play, followed by the hilariously interactive Goblin:Macbeth (August 19-September 17), created by a team of acclaimed Canadian theatre-makers.

“Our 34th Season is the full package, with dynamic productions for theatre lovers of every stripe,” says Christopher Gaze, Bard Founding Artistic Director. “There’s a wealth of romance, music, high-spirited comedy and compelling drama – something just for you, whether you’re a committed Shakespeare lover or have never been to Bard before.”
