BARDcore Reading Series
One director, one cast, one week to rehearse, and one chance to perform a Shakespeare classic - enjoy a bit of the canon while we host and provide refreshments, a little games and trivia, and overall a better alternative to your average Monday night.
Bottom's up...
It's BARDcore: Round Four!
Come hang out with us for the fourth round of our infamous reading series (while we drink water between each to stay hydrated):
King Lear (Lorenzo Landini, Director)
A Midsummer Night's Dream (Victoria M. Fragnito, Director)
Cymbeline (Rudi Utter, Director)
BARDcore: Round Four will resume rehearsals upon the permission from the State and the City of New York to hold live, in-person events at significant capacity.
