Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon

 “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”  That’s the Bard’s philosophy, for he’ll bring YOU up onstage to bring his classics to life.

 
Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon is a living historical performance specializing in a one-man, audience-interactive, comedic, educational entertainment experience - or "edutainment." The audience comes on stage & into the literary action - think of it as Shakespeare as a stand-up comedian.

Each half-hour show is based on a different Shakespearean play or genre – perfect for renaissance faires & festivals – and the one-hour show is ideal for assemblies, delving deeper into the explanation & meanings behind the text. The audience is fully involved in the process, playing different characters, being directly engaged & encouraged to think critically on the subject, and to just have fun.

The shows include original, half-hour versions of Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare's Monarchy! The Musical and - new for 2011 - Shakespeare's Sea Shanties. Also new for this year is The Compleat Dummies' Guide to Shakespeare, a one-hour interactive extravaganza of the Bard's language made plain.

Having performed at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, the Hudson Valley Mayfaire, the Virginia Renaissance Faire, and the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, as well as First Night Oneonta & First Night Scranton, I bring over ten years of theatrical experience to your event.

But the show’s not all – Shakespeare is also available to interact with the audience on a one-on-one basis, working within your budget & meeting whatever your needs may be: Q&A, book signings, hosting a variety night or talent show – there’s no limit to what we can create together.

Our goal is to inspire a love of learning along with the laughter.  When the audience is having fun, they're laughing; when they're laughing, they're learning.

Where there's a Will, there's a Play!
