Here Ye, Here Ye…the Bard Is Back!

But only for one night – November 11th at 7:00 PM!

if you missed the West Allis Players Spring 2023 production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised], you’ve got a one night chance to see it, and help benefit Mt. Hope Theatre and community theater. Tickets are only $10 and will be available at the door.

Performance Location:
Mt. Hope Lutheran Church
8633 W. Becher St.
West Allis, WI 53227

The Cliff Notes:
Want a show that parodies the plays of the great William Shakespeare? Think that Shakespeare is normally too long to go see? Do you lose count of how many characters there are in Shakespeare’s shows? Do you want actors to break the fourth wall and talk to you and with you rather than at you?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then do we have the show for you! For those keeping track, that would be 37 plays in less than two hours. That’s only a little over $0.27 per play. An crazy amazing value!

The Cast List:
This is one of those shows…everyone is playing tons of Shakespearean characters. So many in fact, we’re just going to list the talent that will be bringing the characters to life.
