Past Events
2025 Summer Shakespeare Festival:
In July 2025, MidCoast Shakes held our inaugural Summer Shakespeare Festival, in partnership with Belfast Parks and Rec Department. We were thrilled to bring free performances of Twelfth Night to the Belfast community with five shows over 4 days (July 30th, August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd).
We also held our first family-fun event on Saturday, August 2nd. Families and friends joined us for free face painting, puppet making, rainmaker creation and a live Shakespeare Insult Booth!
We thank everyone who came out for our Summer Shakespeare Festival, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future!
In June 2026, MCSS partnered with The Colonial Theatre, Belfast to create
An Evening with Lady Macbeth
This fundraiser event included scenes from our 2026 summer show, (Lady) Macbeth, as well as a Raffle, Surprise Gift game, and a screening of Akira Kurosawa’s 1961 adaptation of Macbeth, Throne of Blood.
It was a wonderful evening, and we thank Cam and all the folks at The Colonial Theatre, as well as the community members who came out to support us!
2026 Summer Shakespeare
