PERICLES, PRINCE OF TYRE & THE TAMING OF THE SHREW Set for Shakespeare In Delaware Park 51st Season
The season will also feature a touring production Fools and Foes as part of its 51st season of free outdoor theatre in Buffalo.
Shakespeare in Delaware Park is preparing to kick off its 51st season of free outdoor theatre, continuing a tradition Buffalo. The 2026 season will feature two mainstage productions-Pericles, Prince of Tyre and The Taming of the Shrew-along with a touring production, Fools and Foes, which will travel to venues throughout Western New York.
Pericles, Prince of Tyre runs June 18 through July 12, followed by The Taming of the Shrew, July 23 through August 16. Performances take place Tuesday through Sunday at 7:00 p.m. on the Saul Elkin Stage in Delaware Park.
Pericles opens the season with a sweeping story of adventure, loss, and reunion. It marks the first time the Bard's epic journey will be produced by SDP. Later in the summer, The Taming of the Shrew brings its signature wit and larger-than-life characters to the stage in one of Shakespeare's most well-known comedies.
SDP's touring show, Fools and Foes, will be on the road throughout the summer, bringing a fast-paced, family-friendly take on Shakespeare's most notorious clowns and villains. Dates and locations can be found at shakespeareindelawarepark.org.
"All performances are free and open to the public," said Lisa Ludwig, Executive Director. "As we head into our 51st season, we're excited to continue this tradition and welcome both longtime audience members and those joining us for the first time."
