Program

This program, featuring Richard McElvain and David Zucker, the duo renowned for Mythmasters, is aimed to wake a hunger for the Bard in the classroom. This is very user friendly Shakespeare build to make Shakespeare accessible to even your most skeptical students. Audiences play games expanding their vocabulary and connecting to the passions of Shakespeare's chracters. The Shakespeare Guyz challenge audiences to make personal connections with Shakespeare's themes and appreciate a good Shakespearean insult. The performance involves sword fights, costumes, props, puppets, and lots of audience participation. Scenes are performed from Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, King Lear, Henry IV, as well as a complete, over-the-top version of Pyramus and Thisbee. Bring the Bard to your school with the Shakespeare Guyz!
