The Little Shakespeare Festival is FRIGID New York's annual run of independent, small-cast theater inspired by Shakespeare — casts of five or fewer taking on the classics and reinventing them. The 2026 theme is "ShakesPUNK": loud, countercultural takes on the Bard, with roughly seventeen productions. August 6–23, 2026, at UNDER St. Marks (a 45-seat basement blackbox in the East Village). $25 in-person / $20 streaming, plus fee. Full lineup and tickets on the FRIGID site.
