“Bards in Bars is our monthly storytelling event. This one is special because we are announcing The Olde School Shakespeare Collective’s 2024/25 season as well at the end of the night. “The evening promises an unforgettable experience as it showcases the talents of six of Shakespeare’s finest bards. These storytellers will present brand-new, original stories, each crafted with the timeless wit and depth that define Shakespeare at his best. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty laugh, a heartfelt cry, or a rollercoaster of emotions in between, this event has something for everyone. Join us for an incredible night where classic storytelling meets fresh, contemporary creativity, ensuring an evening filled with entertainment and excitement.”

What else should folks know about your organization?

“The Olde School Shakespeare Collective is a collective of actors/directors/artists driven to create theatre within a community-oriented aesthetic that emphasizes Shakespeare for the working class. We don’t utilize a director; we direct ourselves. We rehearse our work once, and we perform it in a public house where members of our community can come, have a drink, Interact, and leave with a new notion of how theatre can be created and performed. We do this within a non-hierarchical theatre-making structure that places those doing the work at the forefront of our priority list. We are mad scientists experimenting with form using the theatre-making techniques of old to create modern responses.“
