In July and August 2026, the Festival will take the stage at the Hilberry Gateway, Wayne State Universitys state-of-the-art performing arts center. The season will feature Shakespeares Richard III, starring Detroit native Rico Bruce Wade, and the ever-popular romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing. Both productions will be directed by MSF Artistic Director Janice L. Blixt. Also joining the lineup is the world premiere adaptation of George Farquhars The Beaux Stratagem: A Comedy of Bad Manners, adapted and directed by Festival Artistic Associate Robert Kauzlaric. With a title like that, audiences can expect schemes, charm, questionable choices, and the kind of comic chaos that makes summer theatre sparkle.The 2026 season also launches a new producing partnership between the Michigan Shakespeare Festival and Wayne State University. The collaboration began in 2024, when Michael J. Barnes, acting chair of the Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance at Wayne State, approached Blixt about bringing the award-winning classical theatre company to the Hilberry Gateway, which opened in 2023.Website: https://go.evvnt.com/3710711-2?pid=11710Date and Time: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 14:00 - Sun, 26 Jul 2026 18:00Venue details: Hilberry Gateway, 4715 Cass Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, 48202, United StatesCategory: Arts | Performing Arts | Theatre
