The Curtain Theatre is dedicated to providing free Shakespeare to audiences of all ages. It does so out of love for great drama, and in the belief that such gatherings of audience and artists add immeasurably to the quality of life in the community. Its productions, in Mill Valley’s Old Mill Park, bring the classical texts alive with fine acting, live music, dance, colorful sets and costumes. The shows take advantage of a unique amphitheater, nestled in the redwoods, and are designed to appeal to both first-time viewers as well as Shakespeare buffs.
