Theatre workshops for children – May 3 and June 28 for details check out Youth Training.

Bard in the Valley is a registered non-profit society with a goal to stage the works of William Shakespeare along with other contemporary playwrights with integrity and professionalism at an annual Festival in August at the Langley City Douglas Park Spirit Square Stage and in the Township of Langley at Willoughby Park.

The Bard in the Valley Society also is dedicated to the concept of making these performances both affordable and available to wide audience, and to nurture and promote an enthusiasm for the works of Shakespeare and other playwrights.

We believe in “One Goal – One Passion – Shakespeare For Everyone.”
Bard in the Valley also features a youth component: Theatrical training and youth workshops are offered as part of the commitment to the community.

Bard in the Valley is pleased to announce that this year’s performance of The Comedy of Errors will be directed by Langley native, Darcy J Knopp. Knopp performed lead roles in BIV’s first two productions. While attending the University of the Fraser Valley he appeared in 12 main stages that included seven Shakespeare plays. He directed five shows at the Directors’ Festival -- four of which were scripts he wrote. Two of those productions were selected to perform at the Harrison Festival of the Arts. Knopp commented, “I’m thrilled to return to my hometown to bring this delightful comedy to the stage.”
Admission is by donation. Bring a picnic, a blanket, your deck chairs and your whole family to enjoy this delightful outdoor theatrical experience.
