About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

BARD AT THE BAR is a raucous evening of “karaoke” Shakespeare. Grab a drink, grab a script, and get onstage!

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS is a harrowing tale of parental neglect: when Aegeon and Emilia find themselves raising two pairs of twins, they can't be bothered to think of separate names for all of them, so the boys have to share. Decades later, separated by a freak accident in infancy, two sets of men with the same faces and the same names (but very different tastes in women) happen upon the same city at the same time! Slapstick chaos ensues, and all because no one had invented babynames.com yet.

No experience necessary— they let just about anyone in here! Scripts will be provided, so all you need to bring is your glorious self.

Doors at 7, the fun commences at 7:30

Come get silly with Willy!

Frequently asked questions

What do you mean by "karaoke" Shakespeare?

All the scenes are acted out by volunteers who have not seen the script! Just like you would volunteer to sing a song with the lyrics on a screen at a karaoke night, you'd volunteer for a role and perform with the script.

Do I have to volunteer?

Absolutely not! Here at Bard at the Bar, we know that no performance is complete without an audience. If you'd rather just watch, that is wonderful too.

What if I don't know anything about Shakespeare?

That's ok. These plays can be very intimidating, but the goal of Bard at the Bar is to make them fun and easy! Seasoned Shakespeareans and novice newcomers alike can enjoy together in a casual setting. No prior knowledge is necessary!
