Our friends at The Backroom Shakespeare Project are taking on one of the Bard's bests at one of our favorite bars in the city: Romeo & Juliet at Radegast Hall. If you've never been to a Backroom Shakespeare Project show before, you're in for a treat. With only one rehearsal and no director, actors bring the show to life in bars for free. The result is a raucous night of good theatre, good drink, and good company. Better yet, this incredible cast features Ali Rose Dachis (The Wedge Horse) and Tiffany Topol (workshop of The Fitzgerald's of St. Paul).

A Little About The Show
Doors: 6:30pm
Show: 7:30pm
Shakespeare's actors had no director. They rehearsed only the fights and dances. They got their lines and their cues, they grabbed their balls and tried to tell the truth. When they failed, they probably really bit it.
Hell of a legend, right?
The Back Room Shakespeare Project takes as much of it as seems useful. We read the play once, we memorize our parts, and we rehearse it once. We have no director, and we perform in bars, for free. For you! An unruly bunch of drunks!
