Guerilla Shakespeare // The Real Will Shakespeare Reveal

Along with the College of Charleston, we are thrilled to celebrate the arts and culture through a shared appreciation and history of William Shakespeare’s work. This special collaboration between the Library Society’s Special Collections and Igoe Shakespeare Library along with the College of Charleston’s Department of Theatre and Dance invites the Lowcountry community to participate in the historical acclaim of Shakespeare across two unique formats throughout the year – first during this evening’s Guerilla Shakespeare, and later in June Shakespeare on the Steps.

Now in its third year, join for this reception-style format to enjoy refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres while the College of Charleston Theatre performers creatively (and perhaps spontaneously!) interject various soliloquies, sonnets, or other abbreviated renditions of Shakespeare works and performances.  This year’s thematic narrative – “Will the Real Shakespeare Please Stand Up” – is sure to delight.

As inspired by the Public Theater of NY, we agree that “Theater is an essential cultural force…art and culture belong to everyone.” For Shakespeare enthusiasts, this is an evening not to be missed.
