About Independent Shakespeare Co. (ISC)
ISC was founded in 1998. We have been producing accessible, imaginative performances of classical plays since that time. Our first performances were located on the Lower East Side of New York. The stripped down production style of our early productions enabled us to travel easily and we quickly found ourselves touring Europe, ending with an invitation to perform our production Macbeth for four weeks at The King’s Head Theatre in London. In 2001 we relocated to Los Angeles and -- with the support of the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Department of Cultural Affairs -- founded Free Shakespeare in Barnsdall Park, in 2004. Because of audience demand, in 2010 we moved to the significantly larger venue at the Old Zoo and re-christened the summer season the Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival. We have produced 21 fully staged productions over nine summer seasons. The growth in attendance is extraordinary: our first season played to fewer than 1,000 people; by 2012 nearly 38,000 people came to Griffith Park for 40 nights of free Shakespeare productions.

A Midsummer Night's Dream:

In a fantastical Athens surrounded by an enchanted wood, the lines between dreaming and waking are deliciously blurred. As the wedding of Duke Theseus to his captured Amazonian bride approaches, a group of tradesmen rehearse a play celebrate the nuptials. In the shadows alongside them, the King and Queen of the fairies do battle, lovers succumb to magic and to each other, while forest spirits seek to unravel the mysteries of the human heart. This production of Shakespeare's most intoxicating comedy is staged with athletic abandon and dazzling costumes: perfect for the whole family.

Julia Aks, Richard Azurdia, Danny Campbell, Melissa Chalsma, Joe Culliton, Thomas Ehas, Luis Galindo, Mary Claire Garcia, Mary Guilliams, Aisha Kabia, Lovelle Liquigan, Andre Martin, Xavi Moreno, Ashley Nguyen, Nikhil Pai, Kelsey Porter, Sean Pritchett, Bernadette Sullivan, Erwin Tuazon


The Comedy of Errors:

Do you ever feel that something in your life is missing? The Mediterranean Island of Ephesus at the tail end of WWII is a dangerous place. Locked in a battle with neighboring Syracuse, the town is suspicious of strangers. Into this place, two men come to town seeking to find themselves, but inadvertently cut a path of chaos. During the upheaval, love is lost and found, lives are saved, and a community is restored. A live band and period dancing complete Shakespeare’s most compact and fast-paced comedy.

Richard Azurdia, Joseph Culliton, Thomas Ehas, Mary Guilliams, Aisha Kabia, Andre Martin, David Melville, Xavi Moreno, Bobby Plasencia, Sean Pritchett, Bernadette Sullivan, Claudia Vazquez
