The idea and actors behind Backroom Shakespeare are simply incredible. Bringing Shakespeare to people who may not otherwise get to see it by doing pop-ups in the backrooms of bars across the country, keeping it free to the public, and having it put it on by highly skilled and professional actors with little to no rehearsal is a remarkable, and genius, feat! It’s one of the coolest events happening in our city and I can’t recommend keeping your eyes out for their next performance enough. Huge thanks to the fantastic Courtney Abbott and Sam Pearson who joined me to represent Backroom Shakespeare, looking forward to having them back in the future! taken in Three Top Lounge by @backroomshakes
