The Colorado Shakespeare Festival

"To honor the memory of beloved husband and father, David H. Savidge, his family established the David H. Savidge Endowed Memorial Fund for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival after his passing in 2024. 

David was actively involved with CSF as a patron, the father of two daughters who grew up attending and volunteering with CSF's Sprites and Camp Shakespeare summer programs, a teacher advocate for CSF in the Schools: Shakespeare & Violence Prevention program, and as an actor in the 2015 production of Much Ado About Nothing. 

David graduated from Muhlenberg College in 1989 with a Drama degree, and he lived his life immersed in theater and song, always seeing the beauty of the world through the arts. This memorial fund will provide financial support for aspiring drama and theater students working with CSF each summer, helping to nurture and sustain the next generation of artists. CSF is honored to commemorate David's dedication to the arts, his encouragement of students pursuing their craft, and his inspiring spirit and generosity through this fund."
