New Mexico Shakespeare Festival, presented by the City of Albuquerque, is the only free, public theatre festival of its kind in New Mexico. But what does it mean to be a public theatre festival? We believe that the ideas of public connection, common values, and shared experiences are more important than ever in our city, county, and world. The power of theatre is to actualize those ideas – and the power of public theatre is to spread those ideas without limits on who can participate.
All of that starts with you! Below you will find brief descriptions of the shows and information about our upcoming auditions for the 2023 Festival. Please consider signing up for auditions as soon as possible. Auditions for the 2023 New Mexico Shakespeare Festival will take place February 4 and 5, 2023 at Keshet Dance and Center for the Arts, 4121 Cutler Ave NE.
