The Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival is a part of the University of Notre Dame's Shakespeare initiative entitled "Shakespeare at Notre Dame", a program that recognizes the centrality of the study of Shakespeare in humanistic pedagogy at the University. Its fourteenth season (summer of 2013) consists of the Professional Company production of Richard III, the Young Company performance of The Comedy of Errors, and the annual ShakeScenes shows featuring actors of all ages from South Bend and the surrounding community.
