The Valley Shakespeare Festival, in association with Young Emerging Professionals (YEP), is excited to present its first “Shakespeare in the Bar” event.
Valley Shakespeare Festival will inaugurate its partnership with YEP on Thursday, March 13, 2014 when it will perform a live staged adaptation of Shakespeare’s monumental work about greed, power and murder, “Macbeth.”
The venue for this event will be the upper level of Porky’s Café at 50 Center St. in Shelton from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Porky’s, like YEP, is a member of the Valley Chamber of Commerce and will provide light refreshments for the evening and a cash bar.
The performance is being held in conjunction with YEP’s monthly-scheduled networking meeting, YEPresents. It will feature a rousing interactive version of the classic play adapted by VSF’s executive and artistic director, Tom Simonetti, and will engage the audience in fun and inventive ways to become a part of the action.
Professional actors from the area and NYC will be performing the roles, and prizes will be awarded to audience members for their participation.
Admission to the event is $10 per person (free for YEP members), tickets can be purchased at www.vsfestival.org, or by calling Valley Shakespeare Festival at 203 – 513-9446.
Space is limited, so advanced tickets are strongly suggested.
