Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival

Frommer's Review

The company is known for placing traditional plays in contemporary settings and offers special programs throughout the year geared toward students. Shows currently scheduled range from King Lear to Crime and Punishment to Peter Rabbit. Performances are held in three venues: the Ken and Trisha Margeson Theater, which has 324 seats that wrap around three sides of the stage; the Marilyn and Sig Goldman Theater, an intimate 118-seater; and the Walt Disney Amphitheater at Lake Eola, where the 936 seats give a view of Shakespeare under the stars. No shows were scheduled at the Amphitheater for the 2007 season due to heavy construction throughout the downtown area, but it should be back in the fold in 2008.
