Saturday, September 7th

Mosaic Events – 49 Main St. North Adams, MA

Ever wondered what it’s like to perform in a Shakespeare play but were daunted by the idea of studying acting, memorizing lines, showing up to auditions, or putting in any effort at all?

Well now’s your chance!

On Saturday, September 7th, Elsewhere is hosting an evening of unrehearsed Shakespeare!

What’s that mean?

Starting at 7pm, Elsewhere will have two famous, prestigious Shakespeare experts on hand to give you a one-hour crash course in Shakespearean acting.

Then, at 8pm, the audience will arrive and we’ll cast the students in a one-hour production of a Shakespeare play, distribute scripts, and then you’ll put your new skills to use in a fast and loose production!

Anything could happen!

It’s free to take the workshop.

It’s free to watch the show.

If you take the workshop, you don’t have to act in the show. But if you want to act in the show, you have to take the workshop.

No advance registration required.

Show up at 7 if you (maybe) want to act.

Show up at 8 if you want to watch the show and cheer for your friends.

You don’t need to ask our permission or credit us to use anything on this page.

All our cuts run 90 minutes and can be staged with a cast of seven or eight actors.

Information about individual scripts — including dramaturgical notes about how we cut our scripts and what we’ve removed from each play, as well as doubling charts, necessary props, and fights — can be found on the first two pages of each cut.

If you have additional questions about these cuts, email us.
