UNREHEARSED: The Comedy of Errors and A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Barefoot Shakespeare Co.
Join us for FREE Saturday, August 23 @ 4pm UNREHEARSED! The Comedy of Errors & Saturday, August 30 @ 4pm UNREHEARSED! A Midsummer Night’s Dream Enjoy live Shakespeare while betting on the actors you think will forget the most lines, and cheering your favorite cast members to encourage them on to the end! Popularly referred to as “Shakespeare for Sports Fans,” the UNREHEARSED! series is a great opportunity for actors to go toe-to-toe with the bard, while simultaneously stretching their improv muscles. Cast members are given just 30 days to learn their lines and get off book. At NO TIME are they permitted to rehearse with each other or coordinate performances. Audiences will be delighted to see referees standing by, ready to call “foul” and flag actors for missed cues, flubbed lines, and ad-libbing. A two hour extravaganza of live-theatre magic mixed with the hilarious hijinks of hoping actors will mess up! The performance is free, but betting on the performers is highly encouraged!
