About this Event
Shakespeare & strangers at a brewery!
We're bringing back the lost art of meeting people irl - we present dinner and a show, but with a little Pair Club twist: everyone is single!
Join us at Väsen Brewing in Forest Hill for an evening of meeting new people, sharing some laughs, and enjoying a wildly entertaining take on Shakespeare's King Lear, brought to life by the talented improvisers of Bridge 9 Theater.
First, we mingle. Then, we Shakespeare. 🎭
PLEASE ARRIVE AT 7 PM! We'll have 30 minutes of mingling before the show begins at 7:30 PM. This is your chance to grab a drink, introduce yourself to some cute strangers, and maybe even find someone to sit with during the performance!
Then settle in for Shakes N' Not Stirred: Classical Works with a Twist, where a cast of local actors and improvisers tackles the classics while also tackling drinks!
Expect improvisation, audience participation, unexpected twists, and plenty of laughs. This is NOT your high school English class's Shakespeare.
And when the curtain falls? The night doesn't have to end! You're welcome to stick around until the brewery closes, grab another drink, and keep getting to know your new friends (or potential crushes). 😉
