Since its inception in 2006, the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s annual event has been hailed by Washington Life Magazine as the “most buzzed-about gala” and provides indispensable funds for the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s education and outreach programs, including the annual Free For All. Thanks to the generosity of our gala attendees, the Free For All brings two weeks of free Shakespeare to D.C.-area residents each year. Since Michael Kahn founded the event in 1991, more than 700,000 people—many of whom might not otherwise possess the means to see a full-scale theatrical production—have enjoyed some of STC’s most acclaimed productions completely free of charge through the Free For All.
