Open Mic Shakespeare: The Drinking Game LES Shakes
About This Show
It’s an open mic night for Shakespeare – anyone is invited to do a 1-2 minute monologue or scene. The audience is given the task to keep an ear out for buzz words that they must drink to. This is the launch party and fundraiser of the non-profit LES Shakes. There will be a raffle where all proceeds will go to the first show Twelfth Night which is a part of the F*ckin’ Up Shakespeare series.
