This Meetup is for people who are interested in getting together to read Shakespeare's plays out loud. Each person will take one (or more!) parts and we will act them out.

At each meetup, we'll take one of his plays (chosen at the previous meetup and announced on the Meetup's website), assign parts and run with it.

Be funny, be dramatic, have fun!

Thanks to all who made it to the last meetup! And thanks again to Kevin for hosting the meetup.

We are now reading Cymbeline starting where we left off with Act III,iii. Anyone wishing to bring a DVD or video of their favorite movie version of this play may do so, and we'll show some of the main scenes.

Please bring your own copy!

Once again Kevin has offered his apartment for the meeting place. Read more

What members are saying

 Well done. The organizer should be recognized for doing a great job. 

 If you are a general non acting enthusiast of Shakespeare this is a pleasant way to spend the time.

      I am a lifelong lover of Shakespeare. I've read all his plays. I was a classical actress for many years. I just love his work.

      I am very excited that this reading group exists! I've been working on my Masters degree in Education, and haven't been performing and haven't been involved in workshops. I've been missing Shakespeare as a part of my everyday life.
