Spur Of The Moment Shakespeare Company presents
SHAKESBEERS SHOWDOWN: 8 BIT-IVERSARY
WHEN: NEW DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED FOR AUGUST!!!
Doors at 5PM
First drink goes down @ 6PM
WHERE: Grand Canyon Theatre (2 Osler St. Toronto)
COME AND CELEBRATE 8 YEARS OF BEERS!
This May, join us as we celebrate our 8-Bit-anniversary (or 8th anniversary) and 9th rendition of #ShakesbeersShowdown, a gamer-themed night of epic proportions, a daring winner-takes-all/loser-drinks-most battle to see who will be crowned the ultimate Shakespeare cold-reading champion. Toronto’s hottest indie theatre companies face-off in this live massively multiplayer RPG, a battle of Shakespeare’s notoriously difficult First Folio (the Contra of Shakespeare).
This player vs player quest celebrates failing with flair through line flubs and mispronunciations, with each K/O round bringing the victor one step closer to the ultimate title. The winners advance to the next round, the losers…get a lot of beer.
STAY TUNED HERE FOR MORE UPDATES!!!
******NEW APPLICATIONS TO COMPETE FOR 'THE PEOPLE' WILL BE RELEASED SOON!*****
