Description: The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival (2843 Washington Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44118) is a non-profit founded in 1998 by three local theater artists/students in the Master of Fine Arts program of the Theater and Dance Department at Case Western Reserve University.

By performing out of doors in numerous locations, they reach audience members that would be less likely to travel to a down town theater or may be uncomfortable in a more traditional theater setting. Making these performances available free of charge brings to those who could not ordinarily afford the price of a theater ticket the experience of audience and actor communing through the contemporary performance of classic literature.
