Welcome to Marin Shakespeare Company’s 2026 season — a year rooted in gathering around stories that illuminate who we are and who we might become. In a moment when the world urges us to look away, we are choosing to gather instead, holding this company as a home for the curious: a place where artists and audiences come ready to explore, question, and connect.
The season begins this spring at our downtown theater with the One For All Solo Festival, curated by Josh Kornbluth and headlined by Kathryn Grody, where intimate storytelling asserts free speech as a vital, living act. It continues with La Comedia of Errors, by Lydia G. Garcia and Bill Rauch and directed by Karina Gutiérrez, a bilingual celebration of immigration, resilience, and belonging. In summer, we move outdoors to Forest Meadows with As You Like It, adapted and directed by Evren Odcikin, centering queer joy through a playful, expansive reimagining of love for the whole family, followed by Julius Caesar, which I am honored to adapt and direct—a reckoning with political violence set within an unstable public world.
We return to the downtown theater in the fall with our second annual Seeds of Time Festival, curated by Aejay Antonis Marquis, bringing six new works into dialogue with classic foundations, and conclude with a holiday offering of The Secret Garden, a new adaptation I’ve written and that Bridgette Loriaux directs, gently yet firmly widening our sense of who belongs and what is possible. Together, these six events form more than a season—they are an act of gathering when gathering matters.
Subscriptions are available for our four mainstage productions — La Comedia of Errors, As You Like It, Julius Caesar, and The Secret Garden — and offer a way to lean fully into the season as it unfolds. Subscribers receive discounted tickets, priority seating, and early access to special events.
While the festivals are programmed separately, subscribers receive early access to Choose Your Price tickets for both the One For All Solo Festival and the Seeds of Time Festival — events that are certain to sell quickly. A subscription is an invitation not just to attend, but to be part of the conversation from the very beginning.
Join us.
