SHAKESBEER returns! The Theatre Lunatico ensemble once again brings the spirit of Shoebox Shakespeare upstairs to La Val’s Pizzeria with a stripped-down, high-spirited staged reading full of shipwrecks, pirates, and long-lost loves reunited against all odds. This FREE, raucous evening will sweep you across the seas into a world of adventure, treachery, and redemption — complete with a drinking game inspired by Shakespeare’s text. Bring a friend, grab a beer, order another slice mid-voyage, and experience Shakespeare the Lunatico way: immediate, intimate, and joyfully un-stuffy. 

NO TICKET RESERVATIONS REQUIRED, DONATIONS ACCEPTED

Theatre Lunatico’s Shoebox Shakespeare Series launched in September, 2015, with a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the intention of bringing compelling and accessible productions of Shakespeare’s works ‘up close and personal.’
