There is no better way to celebrate Fall in NYC then participating in ShakesBEER, NYC's Original Shakespearean Pub Crawl, produced by New York Shakespeare Exchange, the company dedicated to making Shakespeare accessible to all.
October's ShakesBEER returns to Hell's Kitchen, with a whole new line-up of scenes and actors, today, October 4 and Saturday, October 11.

ShakesBEER is a three-hour pub-crawl that features plenty of Bard to go with your beer (or wine or cocktails). The crawl is divided between four bars, with Shakespearean scenes breaking out at each location. The actors are shoulder-to-shoulder with the audience, drawing them in and making this experience about as "up-close and personal" as Shakespeare gets.
October's ShakesBEER features scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream; Henry IV, Part 2;
Romeo & Juliet; and Twelfth Night. The featured actors include
Harry Barandes, Chris Corporandy, Phil Mutz, Sarah Nedwek,
Katherine Puma,
Colin Ryan, and
Katelin Wilcox.
