Indy's Shakespeare festival is back for a second year! The annual event runs from October 13 through October 30. The three main shows this year are Coriolanus, King Lear, and Twelfth Night.
Founded by & managed in partnership with The Carmel
Theatre Company, First Folio Productions, Catalyst Repertory (formerly CRP)
& The Garfield Shakespeare Company. Bard Fest Indy was founded by 3
Indiana-based theatre companies to bring a professional quality, yet intimate,
Shakespeare festival experience to central Indiana. Through their partnership
with The Carmel Theatre Company, Bard Fest is able to not only provide paying
work for local area actors, but also provide 3 unique visions under one intimate
roof.
Opening Weekend Celebration:
Opening weekend will include buy-one-get-one tickets to
the Shakespeare anchor shows, and will also feature two special guest shows by
the critically acclaimed Fringe performer and classical literature scholar,
Timothy Mooney. They are also bringing back Shakespeare Trivia (with prizes to
local shows).
Special Showcases by Timothy Mooney:
Lot O' Shakespeare is a game-show like whirl-wind hour of
Shakespeare monologues performed by a one-man force of theatre, spin the wheel,
hear a monologue! Perfect for the whole family to reacquaint themselves to the
Bard before catching one of our full-length Shakespearean offerings. Spin the
wheel, make a request, win prizes, and see Shakespeare!
Breakneck Hamlet is just what the show's name suggests a
Hamlet that goes so fast it could break your neck! See the critically acclaimed
Fringe hit show that has taken the circuit by storm and you might even get a
better understanding of the Bard's masterpiece. This show has been selling out
all-over the European Fringe circuit (even Denmark!) and is NOT to be missed.
It's only an hour, what have you got to lose?
