Illinois Shakespeare Festival Tickets

We loved the production of AMSD. Excellent cast and a magical night at Ewing manor.

Another tremendous show by the Q Brothers! Such a cleverly written show with tons of laughs. Hilarious!

My wife and two friends attending the I Heart Juliet on Sunday afternoon. What a fantastic performance! The dialog was witty, clever, and at some points absolutely hilarious. The music and performing artists was also excellent. The consensus from the four of us was that we would see this again and again it was so good. Let's hope the ISF brings more of the Q Brothers in the future. Bravo!

The music was a perfect fit to this play. It made it magical. I went twice because it was so well done and beautiful.

The cast was amazing, the script very "smart" & funny, and overall the hourlong production was unforgettable & my daughter's "favorite play ever!"

Story is typical Shakespeare, but the cast and crew do a wonderful job moving among the different characters. The narrator keeps the audience caught up on what is happening to the plot line. A very enjoyable evening!

Took our 11 year old for her birthday who was less than thrilled. She adored it!! The actors were fantastic! We went two nights and the second night was even better and we didn't think that was possible!

High energy, fun and easy to understand! We thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommended

My kids and I have made it a tradition to drive up from St. Louis annually to take in the Improvised Shakespeare performance at the Ewing Theatre in Bloomington IL. The cast, based out of Chicago, are first rate performers and you will laugh out loud at their wit and antics. Unrehearsed and on the fly, they are masters at their craft. You will not be disappointed. And the Ewing Estate grounds are meticulously cared for. Take this opportunity to step out of your routine and experience unparalleled laughter on the grounds of the Ewing Estate in a permanent, well designed amphitheater. If that isn't enough. Step into the past in the cobblestone courtyard for some pre-performance jazz and a glass of wine.

This was a terrific play with a superb cast. Go see it.

This performance of A Midsummer NIght Dream was great! The addition of music added another layer to the play, and along with wonderful staging, costumes in the late 40s, and excellent actor performances, this was the best rendition of this play for me (I've seen it produced 3 times.). The Ewing Theatre is always beautiful, and the weather gave us a pleasant, starry night. The full moon even made a showing through the open roof just as the play was ending!

I heart Juliet, though very short (70 min.), it absolutely wonderful. Production was amazing, songs were all brilliant. Highly recommend!

Wonderful set design, music, and very entertaining!

The Illinois Shakespeare Festival was Shakespeare at its best. Hamlet with a female lead was exceptionally good. Peter and the Starcatcher was humorous and entertaining. Twelfth Night was memorable, especially with Malvolio. I am looking forward to next year's festival.

An amazing night under the stars for a fabulous show. The cast and crew of the Illinois Shakespeare Festival do a fantastic job. I only wish we live closer to take in the rest of the shows. Bravo!

Twelfth Night was funny and engaging and overall very enjoyable. The cast was talented and were great.

Was able to get great seats and was dazzled from the beginning. The crew was fantastic, the writing was wonderful. Had a wonderful experience at the event with my wife and would recommend to all.

The show was fun, dynamic, and very entertaining .

Saw the opening night of Hamlet at the Illinois Shakespeare Festival - outdoors on a beautiful evening - and loved every minute. My current favorite Hamlet video is the RSC version with David Tenent and this is just as good. Live theater is always great and unique too. Be prepared for the full version which runs two and a half (2:30) hours. The sword play was wonderful, the ghost of Hamlet's father great - the actors were all wonderful - Ophelia's mad scene was tear provoking as was the description of her death by Gertrude. Love it!

Entire cast was just spectacular. Hamlet, played by a woman (Deborah Staples) was fantastic.
