Whidbey Telecom proudly sponsors the Island Shakespeare Festival! This accessible outdoor theater is a true jewel on Whidbey. With a pay-what-you-will-model, everyone is encouraged to experience the magic firsthand. Their mission is to ignite the power of accessible classical theatre to build empathy and connection.

A long-time bucket-list production for ISF, we’re thrilled to announce King Lear as our 2024 Shakespeare piece, helmed by returning director Terri McMahon (she/her). Terri directed a beautiful production of Othello at ISF in 2018, and we’re delighted to bring her artistry back to our stage!

Summer 2024 includes our second partnership production with Expand the Canon, featuring Aphra Behn’s The Lucky Chance, to be directed by Julie Beckman (she/her)! Julie makes her return to ISF having adapted and directed 2016’s audience favorite Jane Eyre, and we’re thrilled to welcome her back!
