ShakesBEERience
Professional actors, script in one hand, beer in the other, present a reading of a different Shakespeare play each month. ShakesBEERience is FREE FOR ALL, Or Pay What You Will.
Since it's creation in 2012, our ShakesBEERience play reading program has played to standing-room-only crowds one Monday night a month at The Press Room in Portsmouth, NH. The program has since expanded to San Jose, CA in partnership with Buck Hill Productions, and to Brooklyn, NY for a limited run in June 2017.
