Groups have the option to coordinate backstage passes for a memorable, interactive pre-show visit with actors and company members in addition to tours of the outdoor stage and amphitheatre for those who want to delve into the intimate and personal view of theatre life.

While overlooking the beach and clear blue waters, groups can savor cuisine from Shakespeare's Kitchen & Bar, a full-service restaurant and premium bar, that prepares everything from elegant picnic dinners to three-course meals delivered directly to guests' seats. Or, experience the VIP stage side lounge Clarity, which creates an idyllic setting for pre-show dining with on-site catering, dedicated wait-staff, bartender and personalized menu options. Private wine tastings for groups at Shakespeare's Vineyard wine bar, featuring selections from around the globe are also available.
