#SHAKESBEERS SHOWDOWN Set for 4/22

The battle over the bard begins April 22nd at the Tranzac Club for the annual Shakesbeers Showdown. Companies from all across Toronto will meet and compete in an improvised performance over who can prove the best in bard and beer.

The Challenge? Who can recite their lines the most accurately while under a barrage of jeers cheers and beers in front of our panel of judges. The winners are determined by who both says their lines the best while keeping the most of their beer in their cup. Eight different companies have collected to contend for the title of Shakesbeers Showdown Champion.

This evening will feature such indie theatre stars as A.J. Richardson from Shakespeare-In-The-Ruff, Scott Emerson Moyle* from Dauntless Theatre, James Wallis* from Shakespeare Bash'd, FringeKids stars Tom McGee and Megan Miles from Shakey-Shake and Friends, and Louisa Zhu and Grace Gordon* from Spur-Of-The-Moment Shakespeare Collective. Newcomer companies Hart House Theatre and Ale House Theatre will be joining the mix with theatre veteran Joshua Stodart* and Matt Shaw.
